[SOLVED] Wursti need HW support (OMFG)

[Crusher]

Are the SSDs firmware updated as well?

[wurst]

ye, SSD have actual Firmware, Sandforce 1000/2000 Controllers are very much known to behave well on raid controllers.

Btw, Pirat just found the solution.
I HAVE A SCSI CONTROLLER!
I Mean i run ATA Drives but its SCSI, at least theoretically capable.
SCSI Controllers need time for the drives to settle, i know that BSD likes to wait 15 seconds.

Zu den 180 Sekunden fallen mir zwei Dinge ein:

[list=1]
[*]"rootdelay". Aus initramfs-tools(8):

Code: Select all

rootdelay
              set delay in seconds. Determines how long  mountroot  waits  for
              root to appear.  The default is 180 seconds.


Kannst Du auch testweise direkt beim entsprechenden
Eintrag im GRUB-Menü einfügen, z. B.:

Code: Select all

linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg0-lv--root ro rootdelay=0


(oder erst einmal auf 170 Sekunden, um zu gucken, ob das
überhaupt der Parameter ist, der das verursacht).

--> It was the first of his 2 Ideas about "180 Seconds"
So in fact the SCSI Controller dont say that its ready, maybe cause of no SAS drives connected, who knows.

Solution:
Open /etc/defaut/grub
change the existing line so it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootdelay=0 noquiet"
then enter "update-grub" in console

when it dont boot back, just press "e" in grub on boot to take that setting out temporarily so u can boot.
