I have a server setup with 2 1TB Drives using software raid1. 3 partitions total...
I reboot my server after a couple months.. and now it is failing to boot. It drops into a dracut emergency mode shell.
The error indicates that the disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/8046c24a-cf00-4c82-bb34-f8b76cb29 does not exist. However when I boot into the rescue kernel and do blkid I can see that it does exist as the root partition device /dev/md127.
I would paste more details from commands but I can't copy and paste from the Java console application that is the only way I can access the server right now. I'll happily type out anything that would be helpful.. and I can screenshot easy enough as well.
I tried rebuilding the initramfs image with dracut as suggested in several posts I found but I am still getting the same error. I am out of ideas on what to do at this point and welcome any guidance.
The only thing I see that seems odd is when I look at the /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt at the very beginning it does ls -l /dev/disk/by* and it gets back a no such file or directory error. This seems like it could cause the disk not being found but I don't know why it would not find it.. when i do the same command in the rescue kernel i get a full list which has all the devices and raid devices.
The section of the log goes like this:
Code:
configfs /sys/kernel/config configfs rw,relatime 0 0
blkid
blkid -o udev
ls -l '/dev/disk/by*'
ls: cannot access /dev/disk/by*: No such file or directory
for _i in '/etc/conf.d/*.conf'
'[' -f /etc/conf.d/systemd.conf ']'
I have spent more hours on this then I care to think about so if it sounds like i'm frustrated.. I am. I am hoping I'm just missing something.. obvious.
