[dm-devel] Suse sles10 SP1 -> SP2 update question

["Charlie Sharkey" <charlie sharkey bustech com>]

 

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question or not.

If not, please let me know.

 

After updating my Suse Sles10 SP1 system  (2.6.16.46-0.12-smp) with the

kernel rpm from SP2 (2.6.16.60-0.21-smp) devices that mounted (by label)

are mounting as non multipathed devices. For example, a device that previously

mounted as:  /dev/dm-5  now mounts as:  /dev/sdj1 

 

The devices mount ok, they're just not mounting as multipathed devices.

If I reboot, there is about a one in five chance that they will mount ok.

 

I have tried updating the rpms that I thought might be needed by the new kernel, but

haven't been able to correct the problem. I've updated the following rpms:

 

    util-linux, util-linux-crypto, scsi, multipath-tools, device-mapper, udev, lvm2

 

Are there other dependencies that the device mapper needs for mounting ?

 

Thank you,
