I think you should use device=... *or* label=..., not both. So with multipath problems, you need to use only device=... Unfortunately, behavior of qdiskd and mount differs a lot in the way they handle device scanning to search for labels :-(. Qdiskd just sequentially scans *everything* in /proc/partitions, while mount does honour /etc/fstab.order, but on its turn only scans devices ending on a digit (partitions), which can be quite annoying. A bit of a mess, IMHO, and the behaviour of both mount and qdiskd can be improved for more consistency and flexibility. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
