LVM cannot be checked at startup (modules not loaded)
Hello,
I made a ext3 filesystem on LVM using a device provided by PowerPath (/dev/emcpowera1), it works fine but if (in the /etc/fstab) I activate the filesystem check at startup (e.g. /dev/vg1/lv1 /san ext3 defaults 0 2), RHEL 5.2 64bits fails to boot because "/dev/vg1/lv1" doesn't exists yet... because EMC modules aren't loaded yet.
If I use " /dev/vg1/lv1 /san ext3 defaults 0 0" everthing works fine but the filesystem isn't checked at startup.
I use the last version of the kernel ( 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5) and PowerPath ( 5.1 SP2 - build 21).
Note: It works fine with RHEL4.
The server is a Dell M600 blade and the SAN is an EMC Clariion CX3-10c.
I can provide screenshots of the error message and list of modules when it happends (lsmod) if it can helps.
Any idea how I could resolve this? In fact I need the emc modules to be loaded earlier but the PowerPath-way seems weird: a list of modules to load is included on-the-fly by the startup script to /etc/modules.conf. The issue is reproducible.
Regards,
