[snip] I don't know if you have some problems related to latencies or oher, but I have two comments: - In general, at least in rh el 5.x, dm-x names are not persistent across reboots, so I think it is not safe to directly refer them in fstab. You can make a label on the fs, such as this, if they are ext2/3/4 tune2fs -L homefs /dev/mpath2 (with /home umounted and pointing to mpath2 in this case) and then in fstab LABEL=homefs 240G 148G 93G 62% /home or create a volume group and refer the LV with something like this in fstab (VG=vgname, LV=lvname) in the first column: /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname - If you are using rh el 5.4 and your hw/sw config is supported you can open a case.... -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
