search for: rootdev

From: Pino Toscano <ptoscano at redhat.com> Complementary fix of commit 2d25872df3619a3077006ad0f91c029602db6780. On SLES 11 SP4 with kdump enabled mkinitrd calls mkdumprd which calls mkinitrd, but mkdumprd doesn't have any clue of the root device. Call mkinitrd with rootdev environment variable to tell them all what device to use as root.

This is happening on anything other than plain vanilla Dell servers. One R730, with dual Tesla cards, one R420, with a fibre card for a RAID device, it never switches root. All these systems have Xeons, not AMD CPUs. We've had this with every one of the 327 kernels. In addition, it seems to happen also with the 229.20.1; the 229.14.1 has no such problem. >From the rdsosreport: starting

The ‘vmware-uninstall-tools.pl’ script tries to rebuild the initrd. On SUSE, if kdump initrd has been enabled, this hangs because the ‘mkdumprd’ doesn't know what root device to use. Fix that by setting the ‘rootdev’ environment variable. --- v2v/convert_linux.ml | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/convert_linux.ml b/v2v/convert_linux.ml index c34bf3e91..2fa9bfa51 100644 --- a/v2v/convert_linux.ml +++ b/v2v/convert_linux.ml @@ -304,7 +304,12 @@ let rec convert (g : G....

[PATCH 1/7] mount: Add mount_vfs_nochroot This is significantly reworked from before. umount is gone as discussed, and variable motion is minimised. [PATCH 2/7] btrfs: Update btrfs_subvolume_list to take Already provisionally ACKed. Previous comment was that cleanup could be tidier. I looked into creating a new cleanup function for fs_buf, but it isn't possible (or simple, anyway) in this

Hi, this patch series attempt to uninstall VMware tools on all the Linux guests, and reduce the uninstallation time needed in some cases: - v2v tries to workaround the slowest part of the tarball-installed VMware tools - v2v uninstalls the open source VMware tools (open-vm-tools) Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): v2v: linux: remove open-vm-tools packages v2v: linux: try to trick

This series fixes inspection in the case that fstab contains references to md devices. I've made a few changes since the previous posting, which I've summarised below.

I''d like to experiment with storing the boot archive on a compact flash that emulates an IDE hard disk, but then have the root pool on a 4-disk raidz set. (I''m using OpenSolaris) Anyone have suggestions on how to go about this? Will I need to set rootdev in /etc/system to tell the kernel the root device is different from the boot dev? Then what about "update-archive" and friends? They''ll need to know where to put the archive, or get the boot device mounted on /boot or whatever. Ideas? Pointers? Thanks, Gordon This message...

The attached patch breaks out the /dev/root device node creation from do_mounts, placing it in it's own utility (called mkrootdev). This is worthwhile, as certain setups will need the device node there to run fstype and load a proper module (or other things). No, it does not currently configure raid devices.... I didn't know if that made sense in there or not.... Let me know what you think - most of the code is just ve...

Hi All, Could anybody tell me the creating of pv domain on nas. I mean to say that root file sytem should be at nas location. Useful links will be most welcome.

Patch v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-April/thread.html#00114 There's no change here except that I've rebased it against the latest master branch and retested. There was a comment by Pino (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-April/msg00117.html) which isn't incorporated into this patch. Rich.
