So, I figure I messes something up in my kernel config. But when I rebooted and used the old kernel, I get the same problem!! So, I figure something has gotten corrupted or misconfigured since my last reboot (two or three months ago??).
I have logical volumes spread over two drives and everything uses reiserfs. Right before the "mounting local filesystems", reiser goes through all of its checks and everything seems fine. But then it sits on "mounting local filesystems" for a while and then starts spitting errors because it can't mount /dev/vg/usr, with the usual mount error... something like "wrong fstype, bad option, etc.". I can eventually get to a minimal console, but with everything under /usr missing, it's not very useful.
Hmm, actually I just went through the boot again and the reiser checks never check /dev/vg/usr. Seems like it's not even seeing that volume. However, both of my drives show up in my BIOS just fine. And actually, I'm sure that something more than /usr should be on the same drive as /usr, so it doesn't seem like a drive issue. But maybe a bad block on the disk is preventing lvm from seeing /dev/vg/usr??
Any ideas why lvm wouldn't be able to mount some of my volumes? I haven't made any changes to my filesystems recently. My fstab is the same as it has always been.
Thanks,
Ben
PS: oh, I did upgrade grub from .93 to .94 this morning... don't see how that would affect anything, but thought I should mention it.
