Re: OpenSSI not loading up all of the fstab on boot

Hi John,

Thanks for getting back to me:

I have a fresh boot now and here is what I have mounted. Still not mounting the nodes swaps and local drives from what I can see

---------------------------------------
#cat /proc/mounts

rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev2/root2 / cfs rw,chard,node=1 0 0
tmpfs /lib/init/rw cfs rw,nosuid,node=1 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
/dev2/root2 /cluster/node1/dev/.static/dev cfs rw,chard,node=1 0 0
tmpfs /cluster/node1/dev cfs rw,node=1 0 0
tmpfs /cluster/node1/dev/shm cfs rw,nosuid,nodev,node=1 0 0
devpts /cluster/dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0

00000039 /cluster/node4/dev cfs rw,node=4 0 0
0000003b /cluster/node4/dev/shm cfs rw,node=4 0 0
0000002e /cluster/node5/dev cfs rw,node=5 0 0
00000030 /cluster/node5/dev/shm cfs rw,node=5 0 0
00000040 /cluster/node2/dev cfs rw,node=2 0 0
00000042 /cluster/node2/dev/shm cfs rw,node=2 0 0
/dev/loop0 /root/tftpboot/tmpDir cfs rw,node=1 0 0
---------------------------------------

What location would you suggest that I use to mount the node drives from within each /cluster/nodeX  space so that I can have a single statement in my fstab for the swaps and one statement for the local node drives mounting since they are all partitioned exactly the same.

Thanks and have a great day,
