<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi
all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>on Saturday we had
our annual reboot of my NFS server which is on RedHat 5.2 (kernel
2.6.18-92).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Since I'm in
big trouble because my server does not recognize his dmraid volumes at boot
time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I know that my disks
are ok (made diag from my LSIlogic controller) and that my datas are
there</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(because when I boot
on install CD, I can see my all datas even if I still have some
errors).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I look into the
rc.sysinit file, I can see that the dm_resolve_name function does not
return</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>anything. In fact
it's the command</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial><EM>dmsetup
table</EM></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>in this function
which does not return anything. I think it's not the right way, but maybe it is,
I hope</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>you can explain it
to me.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=562565516-12062013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here are the output
of some dmraid commands when I finally finish my boot :</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
