Hi,
recently I had to shut down an iscsi-raid an the connected servers.
After the reinstallation and changing the ip config to match our new lan design, I can login to the iscsi device, the volumes are there and I can establish an iscsi link to some volumes.
But, some other volumes on the iscsi device are reported with an invalid partition table or that they can't be mounted.
e.g.:
fdisk -l /dev/sdf
Disk /dev/sdf: 53.6 GByte, 53687091200 Byte 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 51200 cylinders Einheiten = Zylinder von 2048 × 512 = 1048576 Bytes
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System /dev/sdf1 1 51200 52428784 83 Linux
fdisk -l /dev/sdf1
Disk /dev/sdf1: 53.6 GByte, 53687074816 Byte 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 51199 cylinders Einheiten = Zylinder von 2048 × 512 = 1048576 Bytes
Disk /dev/sdf1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdf1 /export/iscsi01-UDV1/
(lot of german information, e.g. wrong fs-type, damaged superblock ...)
mount: Falscher Dateisystemtyp, ungültige Optionen, der Superblock von /dev/sdf1 ist beschädigt, fehlende Kodierungsseite oder ein anderer Fehler Manchmal liefert das Syslog wertvolle Informationen – versuchen Sie dmesg | tail oder so
dmesg
... VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdf1.
But I'm sure, about using ext3. The error message is the same with maount -t ext2 (for testing)
Any hint would make my happy
Thanks a lot an best regards,
Götz
