How to mount /dev/scinia at boot
I added the a line in /etc/fstab to mount the file system in /dev/scinia1 at boot but Linux complains the device is not available. The sds.service hasn't started yet. How can I get my file system in /dev/scinia1 mounted at boot after sds.service has started?

Please consider to add _netdev to mounting options.
ScaleIO needs network to operate and the devices won't be ready until network was loaded.
Example:
/dev/scinia1 /mountpoint ext4 defaults,auto,_netdev 0 0

Hi,
Few Qs:
1. Did you mean that the SDC service did not come up? SDS has nothing to do with the mount issue on /dev/scinia1 that you are describing.
2. Which OS + File System are you using?
3. Is there some journal operation taking place, hence the device may not be available yet? perhaps consider adding a sleep for this mount..
4. Devices may change name in Linux after boot, so I would recommend to perform the mount by device ID and not by name:
You can find the /dev/scinia1 in /dev/disk/by-id
Use the full path '/dev/disk/by-id/[ID]' for your mount.

The _netdev option does it. Thanks!
