Hello

I migrate my old server under etch on a new one under lenny
The new server are a Fujitsu-Siemens primecenter with a SAN
I have two fiber channel cards :

04:00.0 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr-X LightPulse Fibre 
Channel Host Adapter (rev 02)
04:00.1 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr-X LightPulse Fibre 
Channel Host Adapter (rev 02)

All work fine, I installed the multipath-tools
But when I reboot the system, fsck hang with theses errors :
Log of fsck -C -R -A -a

fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open 
/dev/mapper/3600c0ff000d793a677bfc84901000000-part1
/dev/mapper/3600c0ff000d793a677bfc84901000000-part1:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
  e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8

After the CTRL+D the system continue booting and all are ok.

My fstab line :
/dev/mapper/3600c0ff000d793a677bfc84901000000-part1       
/home           ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1

and :
sMaster01:~# dmesg|grep -i multipath
[   74.985002] device-mapper: multipath: version 1.0.5 loaded
[   75.021788] device-mapper: multipath round-robin: version 1.0.0 loaded
[   75.021788] device-mapper: table: 254:0: multipath: error getting device
[   77.357822] device-mapper: table: 254:12: multipath: error getting 
device
sMaster01:~#

I don't know how I can solve this problem


Regards
Guy
