Problem after adding a SATA drive

[Vap1d-]

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue after adding a sata drive to a machine. The box is running FC9 and had been happily humming along for some time. The elder drive in the box is pata, and was running LVM2, I added a sata drive and successfully added it to the volumegroup, extended etc but now after rebooting the machine I get errors that the sata drive's uuid can not be found.

I'm guessing I need to add something so that sata is initialized at boot but am not sure *exactly* what I need to do.

I compared the messages output of a boot from the live cd with the output of the last successful boot on the server and see where pata drives are brought up on both, on the live cd I also see it bringing up the sata, but not on the last messages on the server.

I have access to the filesystem using the live cd so can make changes to configs etc.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance,
Rob-

blkid will tell you the UUID of the drive/partition

blkid will tell you the UUID of the drive/partition

The uuid that it is saying could not be found is identical to the uuid associated with the pv for the sata drive. I think this drive isn't being initialized at boot before the file systems start getting mounted.

Can you post the contents of /etc/fstab ? Include the pass & dump values (last few digits at end typically 0 0 or 1 0)

Here are the contents of fstab:


/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

Contents look like a standard default installation. You did post the correct file?
Does the output of the vgdisplay command show the SATA drive?

[Vap1d-]

Yes, vgdisplay shows the total space of both the pata and the sata drive in the system.

pvdisplay shows both physical drives and shows both belonging to VolGroup00
