Dear Srs,

I'm trying to automount an iSCSI device at system startup, this is the configuration:

- CentOS 5.1, with kernel 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5PAE, i686 arch - iscsi-initiator-utils 6.2.0.865-0.8.el5 - iSCSI target is a Infortrend A16E-G2130-4

I have solved the "initial_login_retry_max" problem [1] and Open- iSCSI logs into Infortrend target without problems, with 10 retries in the parameter, but the partition is not automounted.

Start scripts order appears OK:

# ls -1 /etc/rc3.d/S* /etc/rc3.d/S07iscsid /etc/rc3.d/S10network /etc/rc3.d/S12syslog /etc/rc3.d/S13iscsi /etc/rc3.d/S25netfs /etc/rc3.d/S55sshd /etc/rc3.d/S90crond /etc/rc3.d/S99local

But "_netdev" marked iSCSI device is not mounted, this is the fstab file:

LABEL=/vz /vz ext3 _netdev,rw,noatime,nodiratime,commit=60,data=writeback 0 0

I have tried using LABELs, UUIDs, device names in fstab file.. and the problem is the same.

If I put a "mount /vz" into "/etc/rc3.d/S99local" partition is mounted without problem..

I think the problem is in the "netfs" start script, I see no option to mount "_netdev" marked entries.. only a call to the command:

(..) fsck -A -T -R -a -t opts=_netdev (..)

I have solved the problem adding a "sleep 1" before the fsck execution:

(..) echo $STRING sleep 1 fsck -A -T -R -a -t opts=_netdev rc=$? (..)

Anyone with the same problem? What can be wrong? I have no problem with the same scenario on CentOS 4.6.. thanks!!

Regards,
