Hello,
I think I found a bug in the
/etc/init.d/boot.lvm
script. (SuSE 9.0)
The Script mounts the root filesystem read/write to write the information from vgscan to /etc/lvmtab.d/.
After that it tries to remount the root filesystem again with:
mount -n -o remount,ro /
This fails, which lead to a error message when
/etc/init.d/boot.localfs
is run.
This is the fix for /etc/init.d/boot.lvm:
[...............]
else
echo "Remounting root file system (/) read/write for vgscan..."
mount -n -o remount,rw /
test $FSCK_RETURN -gt 0 && touch /fsck_corrected_errors
echo "Scanning for LVM volume groups..."
/sbin/vgscan
# NEW [START]
z=0
mount -n -o remount,ro /
while [ ! $? = 0 ] ; do
echo "ro mount failed: $z"
sleep 1
let "z=$z+1"
if [ $z -gt 10 ] ; then
break;
fi
mount -n -o remount,ro / done
# NEW [END]
[...............]
After usually 5 seconds the readonly mount succeeds. (Is this some internal buffer flush time in the kernel ?) The root filesystem is reiser.
regards,
Martin
