Hi kexec/kdump team. I am not sure if this is the appropriate dlist to ask . If not , I apologize . I am having difficulties mounting a iSCSI target under kdump . The target is discovered , [ 154.118729] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk [ OK ] Found device ZFS_Storage_7350 4. Starting File System Check on /dev/...a-5ef4-4838-b5e7-dff852dfc673... [ OK ] Started File System Check on /dev/d...46a-5ef4-4838-b5e7-dff852dfc673. [ 275.766578] dracut-initqueue[420]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - startinging The fsck step never finishes, and dracut timeout eventually drops into the rescue shell. I can see it is attempting to fsck root from the UUID : # blkid | grep b5 /dev/sda4: UUID="fb01846a-5ef4-4838-b5e7-dff852dfc673" TYPE="xfs" PARTUUID="f8831f2d-b2c6-4b27-97db-0513e4d3fe42" 3:02 " /dev/sda4 30G 3.5G 27G 12% / And I mount root manually and look around. # kdump:/# mkdir /mnt # kdump:/# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt [ 542.856035] SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, scrub, repair, no debug enabled [ 542.885016] XFS (sda4): Mounting V4 Filesystem [ 542.938507] XFS (sda4): Starting recovery (logdev: internal) [ 542.994720] XFS (sda4): Ending recovery (logdev: internal) [ 543.018918] xfs filesystem being mounted at /mnt supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff) kdump:/# kdump:/# kdump:/# chroot /mnt/ /usr/bin/bash bash-4.2# Now my iSCSI target is mounted as /mnt Is there a way start dracut so it stops BEFORE the fsck step ? Not after it fails ? Thanks, JD _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
