 Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 6:00 pm Post subject: Partitions occasionaly fail to mount |
 |
|
Hi, I'm running Gentoo 64-bit (up-to-date) on laptop but sometimes all non-root partitions listed in /etc/fstab fail to mount automatically during boot up. But it is possible to mount them manually using `mount -a`
I suspect the problem is in runlevels -> my fault, but it may be somewhere else. So far no errors are logged or displayed when the failure occurs. It seems almost mysterious to me.
I'll be happy to give any logs anyone asks for, just tell me how.
| Code: |
cat /etc/fstab
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 /var ext4 defaults,auto 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home ext4 defaults,auto 0 0
/dev/sda7 /mnt/storage ext4 defaults,auto 0 0
/dev/sda8 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=256000000 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

Here's my runlevel setting. The AC or Battery runlevels are initiated after finishing default runlevel. /XDM is reported crashed, it does always since I moved to SLiM from GDM, but it's just reporting problem/

Try changing all the <dump/pass> options for the physical partitions to 0 2. Things like the cdrom, tmpfs and shm can remain as 0 0. / should remain as 0 1.
From the man page for fstab;
| Code: | | The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. |
Your system may have been working for you prior to this because most filesystems can be mounted a certain number of times before they require a fsck. You may have seen a notice when you were creating the filesystems something about the number of times that the filesytem can be mounted before it will be checked.
I won't guarantee that this is you problem, but I had something similar, with just one partition.

well.. that was quick. I simulated conditions before the last failure. (I had to switch off laptop cause I was in a hurry)
<SysRq>+<B> without syncing or anything, just hard reboot and there we go again. Partitions were checked by fsck but only /dev/sda1 (root) was mounted after boot. |
