| Post subject: | mdadm RAID and "media" directory in new installati |
Just upgraded from R5D50 or so to R5F27, and my super-reliable mounting of my two mdadm volumes (dev/md0 and dev/md1) have me concerned. My fstab is correct, but my mount is showing that they're mounted to a new top level /media directory. If I go into /mnt, it looks like they're being linked to /media. When I go to /media, horror of horrors, the INDIVIDUAL VOLUMES of my RAID system show up here. That's not cool. How do I stop this from happening? If it's part of the automounter for USB stuff, I don't care -- this is a closet backend. Or... if it's not a concern, I'll leave it be. Just makes me nervous. Thanks! |

It's strange, when I df, it shows my volumes correctly. My fstab's the first thing I fixed upon reinstall. Here's my current fstab with all the media stuff properly crossed out, and my correct md devices mounted. Code: # /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
# # filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 /myth ext3 defaults,auto 0 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0 /dev/md0 /mnt/md0 ext3 defaults,auto 0 2 /dev/md1 /mnt/md1 ext3 defaults,auto 0 2 #/dev/hde1 /media/hde1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/hdf1 /media/hdf1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/hdg1 /media/hdg1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/hdh1 /media/hdh1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/md0 /media/md0 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 #/dev/md1 /media/md1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 At least df and mount are now showing the correct filesystems and mounts, but I'm still nervous that /mnt and /media show my individual devices, even though they don't show up in df or mount. What's the mechanism that controls this? I can do all of the investigatory legwork without needing to trouble you. This is just new behavior compared to my previous versions, and all I need is the starting point. Again, it could be nothing. Thanks! |

No need to worry. The drives were just seen and the fstab entries made. The drives were not touched. This was done by the updated Koppix scripts/udev. |

Good enough, and thanks! I'll let it be. |

Just FYI in case someone stumbles upon this... It's embarrassing, but the links were only created in /mnt a single time. I only had to delete them. I initially assumed there was some neat new dynamic auto-mounter that would put and remove entries here, and I was freaking about to how prevent that behavior. Instead, as Cecil says, they were autodetected during installation, entries made one time only, and that was that. Typical circa-1997 newbie mistake  .
