FS not mounting at boot.

[Pete Devlin]

I have a non root vg not mounting at boot time. /etc/fstab has all the relevant entries uncommented. This machine was part of a Service Guard cluster. Could anything have been left over from that? I've looked in the /sbin/init.d directory but there's nothing obvious to me there. The vg mounts fine manually. Any Clues ?
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Pete:

Since the machine was part of an MC/ServiceGuard cluster, the volume group in question was probably mounted by the package control scripts.

Look at 'etc/lvmrc'. For normal situations, you want:

AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=1

See the commentary within '/etc/lvmrc' for more information.

Hi pete,

Right now i am not near to any M/C.There is one variable in /etc/rc.config.d/(somefile)
where one variable like LV=1 shld be there.This variable is responsible for mounting all non root VG's filesystems.If this variable is set to 0 then it mount only root VG FS.
Do one thing tryp grep LV * in /etc/rc.config.d directory.U will find these and u have to make sure that this VG is not part of cluster.
