Why aren't remote filesystems (NFS, SAN) mounted automatically at boot when the netfs service is enabled, the _netdev option is specified and I can mount them manually after boot?
Issue
- SAN and NFS file systems are not being mounted automatically after reboot.
- Using EMC powerpath as multipathing software and have two LVM volumes on the EMC device. These are not mounting even if they have an entry in
/etc/fstab. Can mount manually after machine boots up. - Default (no) configuration of
netfs _netdevmount option specified.- SAN based FS not auto mounting after reboot.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6
netfsservice is started at boot (as perchkconfig --list netfs)_netdevoption is specified infstab
