Hi Steve,
I'm really sorry, that server has been took out from production a while
ago, and I completely forgotten about this.
last week we had some disk space issue in our multi-porpouse virtual
machine manager and I get rid of old unused VMs, the one with this issue
was one of them: it's gone.
I kept the workaround I used there and I report it here, it may be helpful to
someone...
It's a script that start at boot time (as cron) and retry every 5 seconds to
mount fstab disks until it's successfull.
I created this script in /usr/sbin/nfs-boot-mount
#!/bin/sh
LOG_DIR="/var/log/nfs-boot-mount";
LOG_FILE="${LOG_DIR}/nfs-boot-mount_`date +'%Y_%m_%d'`.log";
RETRY_IN_SEC=5;
checkAndMount() {
echo "`date` - Try mounting nfs..." >> "${LOG_FILE}"
mount -a >> "${LOG_FILE}" 2>&1;
result=$?;
if [ $result -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "SUCCESS!" >> "${LOG_FILE}"
else
echo "FAILED! Retrying in ${RETRY_IN_SEC} seconds." >>
"${LOG_FILE}"
fi
return $result;
}
loopCheckMount() {
fail=1;
while [ $fail -ne 0 ] ; do
sleep ${RETRY_IN_SEC};
checkAndMount;
fail=$?;
done;
}
mkdir -p "${LOG_DIR}";
checkAndMount
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
loopCheckMount &
fi
# END
gave it +x (execution permission)
then:
crontab -e
and add:
@reboot /usr/sbin/nfs-boot-mount-check
this will start the script at boot time and retry mount -a until it's
successful, everything will be logged in /var/log/nfs-boot-mount/ directory.
I apologize again, I really forgot it.
