Re: [ squeeze ] Grub2 RAID1 LVM2 boot failure
Thanks for the comments and help.
I have edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg to match my devices by UUID as
proposed, getting UUIDs from blkid /dev/md{0,1} (previously I run
blkid -g):
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem" --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod raid
insmod mdraid
(insmod lvm present in some tests)
insmod ext2
set root='(md0)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set
echoLoading Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem ...
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem root=UUID= ro
rootdelay=15
echoLoading initial ramdisk ...
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem
}
It doesn't boot. Note a added `rootdelay=15' and removed `quiet' to be
able to see what happens.
Still LVM tries to initialize before mdadm (is that correct, anyway?),
and ends up waiting for the root filesystem until I'm dropped to busybox.
While at the initramfs prompt, simply by issuing `vgchange -ay' and
exiting (Ctrl-D) I can boot the box. Luckily, I had a PS2 keyboard
around, because the USB one wouldn't work.
The output of `vgchange -ay' might be informative. Here is one
example, but one line is output for each LV:
udevd-work[number]:kernel provided name 'dm-2' and
NAME='mapper/root_vg-var_lv' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change
the kernel to provide the proper name.
This looks like #581715 or #581593.
In both reports, however, it is said it's a harmless warning.
I can confirm that, at least, while testing the
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv
variant, I can boot the system from initramfs after
`vgchange -ay' +
regardless the warnings.
After booting, running `upgrade-grub or upgrade-grub2' won't help.
This looks like a problem elsewhere (udev, initramfs-tools, ...), but
not grub.

Take a look at debmirror's options. You can choose to download by dist, section, protocol, arch, source/no source, include/exclude packages by regexp matching, etc... It can be easily scheduled and you can serve the packages afterwards adding a deb http://lighttpd.at.lenny.gw sid main contrib to the other boxes' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lenny.gw.list, for example.

First thing would be to know if the bootloader is to blame for not having a bootable system. As of now, it would be some timming issues related to initramfs-tools' scripts (wild guess). Then, I'd need to know if LILO supports the configuration described before, i.e., md0 contains /boot and md1 contains LVs, one of them being /dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv. After that, I'd need to test the proper way to install/uninstall software from an unbootable machine. I guess d-i allows installing LILO on top of grub. The purpose is either reinstalling grub-pc, downgrading to grub-legacy, or installing LILO. Other option would be using rescueCD, chroot into my system and install from there. Suggestions are welcome. But first I'll need to refresh my LILO skills.

I also tried that. It fails.
That UUID belongs to /root_vg-root_lv, where the root filesystem
resides.
The UUID can be confirmed at the grub propmt issuing
grub> ls (root_vg-root_ls)
Note that `boot' is a multidisk partition (sda1 and sdb1, which assemble
md0), thus root='(md0)' makes sense from a grub point of view. And md1
is the result of assembling sda2 and sdb2. This md device has only one VG
on top of it, root_vg, with several LVs in it, one of these LVs being my
root_lv.
This my default menuentry now:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem" --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod raid
insmod mdraid
insmod lvm
insmod ext2
set root='(md0)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 785366b0-d597-4e9c-9284-b6b9161236ed
echoLoading Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem ...
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv
ro rootdelay=15 quiet
echoLoading initial ramdisk ...
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem
}
The `set root' entry says what is *root* for grub, I understand this as:
where are /boot/grub/grub.cfg, /vmlinuz-`uname -r` and /initrd.img-`uname -r`
So IMHO it should be called boot='(md0)' for better undestanding and
disambiguation from the *other* root in the `linux' line.
The GRUB root device is not the same as the Linux kernel root= parameter.
BTW this command is undocummented in the wiki, still uses grub-legacy's
info, which doesn't apply anymore, given the `root' command has been
replaced.
The `search' line, as stated in the grub wiki:
Search devices by file, filesystem label or filesystem UUID. If --set
is specified, the first device found is set to a variable. If HD
variable name is specified, "root" is used.
I take this to mean that the first device found _which UUID is_ 785...
(the UUID of my root_gv-root_lv) will be the `root' filesystem.
And yet another definition of `root' after the `linux' call.
That one states that:
root=/dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv which could be written also as:
root=LABEL=root or even
root=UUID=785366b0-d597-4e9c-9284-b6b9161236ed
The three of them should be right. None of them work.
If a suppress the `quiet' option from the `linux' line, what I can see
is LVM initializing *before* mdadm has get its job done:
"Volume group "root_vg-root_lv not found
Skipping volume group root_vg
Unable to find LVM volume root_vg-swap_lv
mdadm:/dev/md0 has been started with two drives
mdadm:/dev/md1 has been started with two drives
Gave up waiting fot root device."
So it looks like a timming issue *but*, I have tried to issue manually
the commands in the right order at the grub prompt:
1) insmod-ing raid, mdraid, lvm and ext2; setting root to md0;
2) searching for devices (also a variant without this step);
3) calling linux with the right root device
(all three variants of this step: dev name, UUID and LABEL and with
different rootdelay timmings, always without `quiet') and, finally;
4) calling initrd.
Failure again. No way root_vg to be found.
One further question: after a reboot, while at the grub screen, before
doing anything else, if a enter the command line and type `ls' at the
prompt, I can see all of my LVs, and listing anyone of them returns:
device name, filesystem type, label, last modification time and UUID.
Where does this info come from? Supossedly, there aren't mods loaded to
read that yet, until after `insmod' loads them, are there?

Re: [ squeeze ] Grub2 RAID1 LVM2 boot failure
I think my previous post requires some more info:
I've got three HDs, two of them (twin disks) have two partitions,
one /boot partition (md0) and the other one for LVM filesystems (md1),
where root_vg-root_lv lives (among others). The third disk is unpatitioned,
and has one only lv (var_lv)
So, provided this autogenerated grub.cfg entry:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem" --class debian
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod raid
insmod mdraid
insmod ext2
set root='(md0)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 785366b0-d597-4e9c-9284-b6b9161236ed
echoLoading Linux 2.6.32-3-686-bigmem ...
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv
ro rootdelay=25 quiet
echoLoading initial ramdisk ...
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-3-686-bigmem
}
...and compared to the examples in the grub wiki¹:
Example grub.cfg for LVM
Below is a sample grub.cfg using LVM. Linux is installed under
MainGroup-linuxLV where MainGroup is the VolumeGroup und linuxLV is
the logical volume. Notice that vmlinuz (the linux kernel) and
initrd.img are lying in the logical volume and can be accessed by
symlinks.
set timeout=20
set default=0
menuentry "Linux on LVM" {
insmod lvm
set root=(MainGroup-linuxLV)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/MainGroup-linuxLV
initrd /initrd.img
}
Example grub.cfg for RAID
This is an example of grub.cfg when the /boot filesystem is on a RAID
device.
insmod raid
set root=(md0)
search --fs-uuid --set 155c8fdb-607f-45a4-bd6d-0dd89f21eac2
menuentry "Linux" {
insmod raid
set root=(md0)
search --fs-uuid --set 155c8fdb-607f-45a4-bd6d-0dd89f21eac2
linux/vmlinuz-2.6.31 root=LABEL=root ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.31
}
I can't find documented the scenario when /boot resides in /dev/md0
and root filesystem is mounted in /dev/mapper/root_vg-root_lv (md1, in
my case).
Removing the `quiet' option shows LVM log lines appearing *before*
mdadm lines, which suggest some timming issues in the init scripts(?).
Again, any hints are appreciated.
Regards.

This is weird. Is the USB stick partitioned? Looks like it is:
/dev/sda{1..4}. Could you try sfdisk -l /dev/sda as root?

This log entries tell you that your USB stick is identified and
assigned a mount point: /dev/sda is mounted in /media/usb0.
Everything here is pretty normal stuff.
Is there anything under /media/usb0?
If you can recover your data from there, I suggest you to back it all up and
format the stick.
Something like mkfs.vfat -v -F 32 -n FIREFLY /dev/sda should work.
man mkfs.vfat for more info.

Hello, Please provide more info, i.e. what does mount says when the USB stick is plugged in? fdisk -l output would be helpful too.

IMHO, it is a good idea to implement LVM when possible.
In case you go on, I recently went through an actual BTDT situation:
Having /tmp mounted noexec,nosuid for security reasons, aptitude
failed to execute postinstall scripts.
The solution was to remount exec /tmp partition and rerun aptitude.
After that I had to add this to /etc/apt/apt.conf or under
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ (depends on your config)
DPkg::Pre-Invoke{"mount -o remount,exec /tmp";};
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount /tmp";};

If you are using system-wide definitions, edit /etc/dir_colors and comment the offending line. There should be one. Also, check the manpage `man dircolors'. You might want to rebuild the definitions. Backup /etc/dir_colors before. Better yet, does `dircolors -b' contain the offending line causing the error?

Is your script always launched from tmp? That is what you _exactly expect_: send -- "logout\r" expect -exact " Connection closed by foreign host.\r\r \[r...@gprs tmp\]# "< send -- "exit\r" expect eof If that's not the case, you should modify it accordingly. Please read the comments generated by autoexpect regarding timing and differing output. Try setting force_conservative to 1 and/or use regexp in the expected patterns. Try the simplest expect script, i.e, one that only logs in and logs out. In your initial post, you said you needed to store the output somewhere, have you tried log_file? You don't mention a single trial-error on your side. Be warned that this community enjoys helping those who help themselves first. It's been suggested to try a tool and a manpage.

I'd really need to look at the script you are using, the one produced by the autoexpect session, but you could try either sending an extra `exit' string or sending a control-C (send \003) Take a look here¹ for more ASCII Control Characters. Regarding the second part, the way you automate the task can't be really called _scheduling_, (i.e., a script will be executed every Sunday at 13:00). That is _iteration_, your script will be executed five times in a row. But I think you know better than me what you want to accomplish with it.

Hello, That would disable password login for root, but does not enable per-se pubkey auth (AFAIK). man sshd_config explain this: PermitRootLogin, PubkeyAuthentication and AuthorizedKeysFile entries.

This affects both user->r...@localhost ssh logins Hello, Could you try to add a new user in the box you want to log in, and create a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with your ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub and see what happens.
