I have a RHEL6 VM that requires the use of remote storage using iSCSI and XFS for the mount point. Here's the issue:
With XFS you can't use the _netdev option for your mount point (pause for network) so my mount point doesn't mount properly because the network isn't up yet. I've moved the init order in rc3.d so the network is up prior to iscsid running however I have application that trys to start before the mount is available and of course the app fails to start etc.
Any suggestions on the delay etc. would be helpful!
Wouldn't it fail even with _netdev? Can't you just move the start of the application so it happens after the scripted init mount of the xfs area after the network setup.
I'm not sure that I fully understand your issue here. Perhaps I'm being too simplistic.
You say that you've changed the order of the rc3.d boot order. These are just scripted commands which are executed in ascending numerical order so you can just create another script (eg, S78sleep) containing the command
to halt the boot process for one minute (or whatever value of seconds you choose). This will give processes already launched time to start before any following scripts.
Obviously you would only use the above if you don't care how long it takes to boot up. Otherwise, if booting time is of the essence, you could write a loop to test for a file/process and sleep for a shorter time if not ready to proceed.

Hey everyone.
I am going to be using XFS for a project coming up. We're running RHEL 5.5. Simply typing
modprobe xfs
works just fine. The kernel module loads without any issue. Is there any issue with doing this and inserting "modprobe xfs" into /etc/rc.modules?
Is there a major reason to... (0 Replies)
Hello,
we got a MD3000i used as a network share between two servers (say A and B). The problem we are facing is that file/directories created by server A are not visible on server B (and viceversa). It's not a problem with permission (chmod 777 doesn't help).
The MD3000i was at first used ony... (0 Replies)

Looking for suggestions as to which filesystem to go with. I currently use gfs2 on hosts with 3.4tb useable. I understand gfs2 is being left behind but xfs and ext4 are not quite certified completely on CentOS 5.2. I have email storage hosts that have a decent i/o requirement and 12TB usable after...
