Maybe it don't take too long by now, once many distros started to use XFS as their default FS, but that might be a good idea to open a bug against the distro you are using. > On Thu, Feb 16, 2017 at 8:37 AM, Vaibhaw Pandey <vaibhaw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Carlos, > > > > Thanks a lot for replying. :) > > > > I should have read the mount man page more carefully: By adding "xfs" > > to /etc/filesystems, the /etc/fstab entry even with an auto started > > working fine. > > Particularly I have never thought about adding something there because I always use 'xfs' in fstab. > > blkid always had an entry for the volume in question but that didn't > > make a difference in this case: > > $ sudo blkid > > /dev/xvda1: LABEL="/" UUID="ebbf1f1c-fb71-40aa-93a3-056b455e5127" TYPE="ext4" > > /dev/xvdb: UUID="bf4be26c-1c1c-40fc-b5cf-b9048dcc61b6" TYPE="xfs" > > > > > >> Anyway, if you have the logs from your system when it tries to mount the > >> partition maybe it give us some clue of what is happening. > > > > It was the complete lack of logs in dmesg or /var/log/messages about a > > failure to mount is what confused me on why this was failing. These logs won't appear in dmesg, this is the kernel log, what you should look for is for `mount` logs. You are using systemd I suspect, if I am correct, you will see such logs using `journalctl` command. > > successful mount logs but an unsuccessful one doesn't.
