xfs在rhel/centos下挂载的bug

RHEL7 boots up to emergency mode when using a separate journal for XFS

环境

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

问题

• A RHEL7 machine boots to emergency mode if a new XFS filesystem is created that uses a separate device for the journal with the logdev argument.

• It works fine to mount the filesystem manually, but if an entry is added in /etc/fstab and the machine is rebooted, it stops at the "Welcome to emergency mode" prompt.

• If 'Ctrl+D" is pressed, the system boots normally and automatically mounts the filesystem.

• If the filesystem is created without a separate journal, the machine boots normally.

• The filesystem was created as following:

# lvcreate -L 256M -n lv_journal01 rhel
# mkfs.xfs -l logdev=/dev/rhel/lv_journal01 /dev/sdb
# vi /etc/fstab
# mount -a

决议

• This was tracked in the bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164334.

• This is fixed as an errata for systemd (systemd-219-19.el7) and can be seen at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-2092.html

• After updating the package, the /etc/fstab entry for the XFS filesystem should be changed to:

/dev/sd<X><Y>              /<mount-point>        xfs    logdev=/dev/<journal-device>,x-systemd.requires=/dev/<journal-device>     0  0

• If the above update and /etc/fstab entry cannot be done, the workaround is to add '_netdev' as a mount option in /etc/fstab.

• The entry should look as

/dev/<device>   /<mount-point>  xfs defaults,logdev=/dev/<journal-device>,_netdev 1 2
