Message-ID: <453A52CE.80605@wolfmountaingroup.com> Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2006 11:03:10 -0600 From: "Jeffrey V. Merkey" <jmerkey@...fmountaingroup.com> To: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: 3Ware delayed device mounting errors with newer 9500 series adapters Adam, We have been getting 3Ware 9500 series adapters in the past 60 days which exhibit a delayed behavior during mounting of FS from /etc/fstab. The adapters older than this do not exhibit this behavior. During bootup, if the driver is compiled as a module rather than in kernel, mount points such as /var in fstab fail to detect the devices until the system fully boots, at which point the /dev/sdb etc. devices showup. It happens on both ATA cabled drives and drives cabled with multi-lane controller backplanes. The problem is easy to reproduce. Install ES4, point the /var directory during install to one of the array devices in disk druid, and after the install completes, /var/ will not mount during bootup and all sorts of errors stream off the screen. I can reproduce the problem with several systems in our labs and upon investigating the adapter revisions, I find that adapters ordered in the past 60 days exhibit the problem. Compiling the driver in kernel gets around the problem, indicating its timing related.
