rhel 5 powerpath 5.0.1 problem
Here's the problem I'm having. I have rhel5 2.6.18 kernel, and PowerPath 5.0.1 patch b022 on a Dell 2950. If I have the /dev/emcpower device or an emcpower device LUN wrapped in LVM, in the fstab file, the host fails to boot complaining it cannot find the device.
Looking at the rc.sysinit file, it seems the host runs an fsck on all the filesystems in fstab (if they have that option enabled) before PowerPath is loaded. So, any partition that's in fstab, that has the fsck option set, won't work. If I set the fsck option to 0, which I don't want to do, it works fine.
**Looks like another forum member Celso Capao, has run into the same problem, using the same work around**
