ZFS tries to mount SAN volume before ISCSI is running

I am running Solaris 10 x86 U7. It is actually a VMWare guest (ESX4) on a Sun X4170 server- although I do not believe that that is relevant. I have a Sun 2510 iSCSI SAN appliance. I have an iSCSI volume with a ZFS Pool that is mounted on the server. All was fine until yesterday when I installed the following patches:
142934-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: failsafe patch
142910-17 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
144489-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
142912-01 (as a dependency requirement for one of the others.)
I had installed the patches in run level 1 , then switched to run level S to allow the patch install to finish.
Now, when I restart the zfs volume on the san is marked as off line. the /var/adm/messages shows the following
Nov 7 00:26:30 hostnameiscsi: [ID 114404 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi discovery failure - SendTargets (ip.ad.dr.ess)
I can mount the SAN ZFS pool with
#zpool clear ZFSPOOL1
#zfs mount -a
For iscsi device discovery, I am using send targets (not static or iSNS.) I am not using CHAP authentication.
It seems to be me this may merely be a timing in services and not fundamentally an iscsi issue. Can I tell the OS to wait for a minute after starting iscsi service before continuing with zfs mount and autofs shares? Can I tell the OS to delay mounting non OS zfs pools?
Thanks

Here is what I tried. Installed Batchmod and Xupport on each of internal system disk, backup internal system disk and external system disk. Batchmod could not find the folders automount or Network.
Booting from external disk, I made hidden files visible using Xupport, then deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and backup disk. The folder Network had no files or folder named "Server". Booting from internal disk, the desktop tried to mount server volumes. Examining the internal disk automount folder showed aliases for "Servers" and "static". Get Info said they pointed to originals "Servers" and "static" in folder /automount but these items do not appear in the Finder.
Sometimes icons, not aliases, for "Network", "Servers", and "static" appear on all three desktops on login. Trying to eject these icons by dragging to Trash or highlighting and clicking File > Eject has no effect. Examining Users > Username > Desktop does not show these items. Sometimes ".DS_Store" appears on desktop and in folder Users > Username > Desktop.
Next I deleted user accounts so that all system disks are single user. Booted up on External disk and deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and internal backup disk or their aliases, whichever appeared in Finder. Booting up on internal disk results in... desktop trying to mount server volumes.
Will try an archive and install on internal disk.

Can't mount SAN volume 'cause it already shows mounted.. but it's not

after controller 1 had a problem and controller 2 took over, one volume on one client (of 6) won't mount.
all volumes on all other clients OK..
the error says it's already mounted and looking at
ls -al /Volumes
it's there..
looking at df , it's not
looking at finder, it's not
running diskutil unmount , it's not
(or mount -u)
so I can't unmount what's there cause it's not there and I can't mount what's not mounted cause it thinks it already is mounted .
any ideas ??

after a MDC fail-over the finder sometimes creates an alias file with the name of the san volume. after all it's a broken alias.
disconnect the FC cable. in the finder (or terminal), go to /Volumes and remove the broken alias file.
cu. p.

I'm getting error 5000 while trying to backup my phone before I can run an update

I'm getting error 5000 while trying to backup my phone so I can run an update. I'm getting a message that says my back up is corrupt. What does that mean and how can I fix it?

Hi
This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
Error -50 = paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
If so it Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
• So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
What does it read ?
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

Prevent Lion from automatically trying to mount Filevault 2 encrypted volume at startup?

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I need two separate partitions, one encrypted with Filevault 2 as a primary working partition, and a second token partition as a "decoy" of sorts, containing a pretty stock install and set as the default boot volume with automatic Guest account log on. In other words, you turn on the computer and it boots to a guaranteed sterile clean desktop. An unsophisticated snoop thinks that's all there is. A more-sophisticated snoop may notice that there's a second (encrypted) volume, but can't access anything without the password.
So I did a clean install of Lion, filling the entire SSD, and then used Disk Utility to shrink the main partition and create a 14 GB secondary partition. I then encrypted the main partition with Filevault 2 from within that logon. Then I rebooted from the clean install USB drive and installed a second instance of Lion on the secondary partition, set up the Guest account, and then set it for auto log on.
So far so good, however, every time I boot into what is supposed to be—to the casual observer anyway—the "decoy" OS, it helpfully throws up a big dialog box stating "Enter a password to unlock the disk '<Your Super-Secret Volume Name Here>'." which I then have to cancel. This is hardly helpful in disguising the fact that there is another partition on the SSD.
I've looked all over Finder's preferences and the System Preferences for a way to make this stop, but I can't seem to figure it out. Anybody know how to keep Lion from helpfully trying to mount encrypted volumes when it loads?
Thanks!

FYI, similar discusion here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/15744942
This is more of a workaround than a solution, but I ended up installing Snow Leopard to the "decoy" partition. It has no idea what to do with the encrypted partition, so it doesn't ask. Good enough for now I guess, but it would be nice if Apple made this configurable.

No longer mount NFS volumes with 2010.q1 release:

Has anyone else seen this? I can no longer mount any of my NFS volumes with root squash since upgrading to 2010.q1. I have a ticket open with Sun (72644622), but everyone is apparently off/away.
Before they all went off, Sun Eng. suggested setting max supported NFS version to 3, but this of course did not work. Hosts trying to mount the volumes error out with:
call_verify: server HOST_IP_HERE requires stronger authentication.
I have double checked that the atuh is set to sys (not krb), but it looks like the nfsd is not respecting this.
Of course this has knocked all our VMware mounts offline as well, and using krb for these is out of the question....
Had to update to support the new FC card...which works great...but me needs me nfs shares....
Fishworks doods, stop yelling at drives and help a brother out ;)

I wish I could tell you, but it seems we lost a CIM card. Worse yet, this failure was completely SILENT. Not a single "problem" listed in the logs. However, when attaching another J4400, I noticed an alarm LED on the failed CIM and verified that the storage was only seen by 1 path. Kind of disconcerting that availability could be reduced significantly without so much as an email.
I'll let you know if we can get to the new release later this week.

Backup Controller cannot mount XSAN Volume

Hi Guys,
I've really have a big problem regarding the XSAN that I've just setup: There are 3 Xserves connected to the SAN - one for the main controller, one for backup and another one for fileserver. After a fresh install of the Leopard Server 10.5.6 on all servers and fresh install of Xsan 2.0 updated to 2.1.1, I tried creating an SAN from the main controller, I added first the main and backup controllers, authenticated them properly and was successful adding them to the SAN. After this, I created the volume and it mounted properly on the main controller. What I don't understand is that whenever I try to mount the volume to the backup controller, it is saying unable to mount and even I tried forcing it to mount in terminal using the command xsanctl mount VOLNAME, its giving me an error saying
"unable to mount volume, Cannot mount XSAN volume error code: 5"
What is that error message? When I tried typing cvadmin to the main controller, it only gave me this message:
Main Controller:
File System Services (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1>*XSAN[0] located on 10.0.0.101:49930 (pid 317)
Select FSM "XSAN"
When I type the same cvadmin to the backup controller, it gave me this message:
Backup Controller:
File System Service (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1> XSAN[1] located on 10.0.0.102:50384 (pid 331)
No FSSs are active
Select FSM "none"
What is happening? both servers are having a DNS name. Before I created the SAN, from the authenticate window, the server name is just the IP address of the Ethernet 0 (first ethernet port). Now whenever I fire up Xsan Admin, both controllers are now offline and if you authenticate them, the server name info suddenly changed from IP address to a DNS Name (e.g. from 194.170.34.12, changed to hct-mdc.ad.hct.ac.ae) which even if I type my admin username and password cannot authenticate saying "server not found in network"
I really don't know now what to do and they need to fix the issue asap.
I would really appreciate your help guys!
Thanks.

Hi,
I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
"sudo ipfw list" shows this:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
65535 allow ip from any to any
Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
Thanks.

[Triaged] System tries to mount iPod firmware partition

Hi. I switched from hal-easy back to hal today, and it's started doing something weird.
It's trying to mount my iPod's firmware partition now. It's the first partition, and doesn't have a file system on it. So before mounting the iPod's real partition, I get an error dialog about how it failed to mount that first partition, and then proceeds to mount the second one. Icons for both partitions are visible on the desktop, and in thunar. I'm using xfce 4.6, and exo-mountopt from AUR.
It didn't behave this way before switching to hal-easy, and while I was using hal-easy. What could be going on here? How can I fix it?
Last edited by TiZ (2009-09-23 19:35:37)

I found a way to work around this problem.
Create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, or if you already have it, add this:
# Ignore iPod's first partition
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{product}=="Rockbox media player" KERNEL=="sd?1" OPTIONS+="ignore_device last_rule"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{product}=="iPod" KERNEL=="sd?1" OPTIONS+="ignore_device last_rule"
This covers iPods with both Apple OS and Rockbox. After making it, the icon for the system partition will still be on the desktop. Just log out and log back in and it will disappear.
And if you get nitpicky about the volume label being all-caps like I do, you can make /etc/hal/fdi/policy/05-labels.fdi and then restart hal:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.label" string="TIZPOD">
<merge key="volume.label" type="string">TiZPod</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Unfortunately, these are all only work-arounds for behavior that was not exhibited before... as for when it changed, I can't remember for the life of me. I'd rather not have to use work-arounds, but they're working. I've marked the thread as "triaged" instead of "solved" because the problem's not fixed, just worked around.
Now I'd like to figure out how to get my iPod icon back instead of the boring hard drive icon when I use Rockbox USB, but I'm sure I can just google around for that.

Share a mounted AFP volume across user accounts on the same computer

Hi all,
I have a Mac Mini with several attached disks (HFS+). I'm using it as a file server, to share these disks over my home network. I'm mounting these as AFP server volumes on a second computer (MacBook Pro). This all works fine. Both are running MacOS 10.6.2.
The problem is that my MacBook Pro has two user accounts, and when I mount AFP volumes under one user, the other user can't access them. It seems that mounted AFP volumes are assigned read/write permissions for only the user that mounted them.
Ideally, I'd like to mount a volume once, and have it accessible from both user accounts. I've tried changing permissions in the AFP volume's Get Info window, but the changes don't take effect.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!!

I'm no expert in this department, but I believe that your question was the reason Apple started the 'Group' calendar. Check this page out:

Unable to mount XSAN volume on client workstation

We just reimaged one of our machines and we are now unable to mount the xsan volume. Originally when the machine hooked up the IP was wrong and the XSAN couldn't see it. This has been fixed and the XSAN sees it now and it is authenticated, but when we try to mount the volume we get this error
Jan 26 13:54:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error reading computer properties: kOfflineError (0)
Jan 26 13:55:37 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error mounting volumeâ€¦: Server returned a non-zero status code (100007)

The *'s was the name of the machine, apple has been little to no help. We have tried removing the machine form the XSAN and then adding it back in, same issue. Tried reinstallingt eh client, same issue. Any ideas?

This is the error on server

Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

File sharing wont mount all volumes

Hello,
I've been going crazy trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to share my Mac Pro files and have enabled file sharing from the networking system preferences, up until a month ago this was working fine. Now whenever I connect to my Mac pro as admin from my Macbook pro I only get my home folder and public folder to mount, the volumes on my mac pro wont show up on any computer I connect with. It was working fine for years and then one day just stopped. As a test, I just tried connecting to my Macbook pro from my Mac Pro and it lists all the volumes on my computer, So I don't think its my router or anything, but nothing has changed anyway. Any help would be great, thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I tried your suggestion and it worked on one of my two external usb drives but I'm still having problems on my other external.
It shows up on the shared list but when I click on it I get the message: The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "NamedDisk" cannot be found.
I've tried deleting all my network preferences, plist files etc. and running disk warrior on the nameddisk to no avail.
This problem just started a few days ago. Not sure what could have changed. I've had 10.5.7 running on this computer for a few weeks. I get the same error from any computer on my network trying to access this disk.

Mount AFP volume error [-5002 (AFP Bad UAM)]

After reading many complaints about AFP in Leopard, I just have to ask again if anybody has a workaround for the “Connection Failed” error -5002 when trying to mount an AFP volume in Leopard. Does anybody have any more info about fixes, workarounds or info about this problem with Leopard? And what is UAM??

UAM == user authentication method
Each AFP server, depending on its version, will have a set of UAMs that it supports by default. These are essentially authentication capabilities such as "no authentication", "cleartext passwords", "kerberos auth", etc. There are several others.
That error code would imply that your client is trying to authentication in a way that the server doesn't know how to handle. Is this another Leopard box you are trying to mount?

MCX Login Items: Mounting Server Volumes

I noticed that when you set up a policy for a user,group or computer to mount a remote volue at login, you will get a Finder error if the volume can't be mounted for some reason (i.e.; the server is down, the volume is not available etc. This can be handy for troubleshooting.
Is there a way to surpress the error, so my mobile users dont get an error when the remote volumes are unavailable?
Example: A lot of my Mac users will have laptops, and thus sometimes they will be away from our LAN. I want they to still be bound to OD and have cached MCX settings when they are on the road. However, I dont want the users to get "Volume could not be found" errors.
Message was edited by: Daniel Stranathan

I think you should be able to use AppleScript to mount the volume, put that code inside a "try" construct, and leave the "on error" blank. Like this:
try
tell "Finder"
mount volume "afp://[user]:[passwd]@[server hostname or IP]:/[sharepoint]"
end tell
on error
-- do nothing
end try
I haven't tried this, but thought it might work.

In Mavericks, any "diskutil mount" also mounts EFI volume

Here's a diskutil command and output:
$ diskutil list disk1
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk1
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Pocket                  724.2 GB   disk1s2
   3:                  Apple_HFS free2                   274.2 GB   disk1s3
   4:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             784.2 MB   disk1s4
So if I want to mount Pocket, I use "diskutil mount disk1s2"
Result:
Volume(s) mounted successfully
But now I also see a volume named "EFI" on my desktop. It wasn't there before. Apparently, "diskutil mount disk1s2" made it show up also. It doesn't show up along with Pocket and free2 when I connect the disk to the Mac.
Why does the volume named EFI (disk1s1) also appear on my desktop after using that terminal command?
Thanks.

Anyway, here's the AppleScript I wrote to toggle local volumes. It's similar to MERGING two Scripts to Unmount disks... but it's primarily an update for this item a Mac OS X Hints. The AppleScript attempts to unmount any currently mounted local volumes. If no volumes other than the boot volume are mounted when it runs, then all available volumes are mounted, and you're offered the option of re-mounting unmounted volumes if any volume can't be politely unmounted.
set alldisks to paragraphs of (do shell script ¬
                    "diskutil list|grep -v 'EFI EFI'|grep -v 'Recovery HD'|grep -o 'disk[0-9][a-z][0-9]*'")
          set all_non_boot_disks to paragraphs of (do shell script "df -hlg | awk -F/ '/disk*/ {print $5}'")
          set nonbootnumber to (count of alldisks)
          if (count of all_non_boot_disks) > 0 then
                    try
                              set all_non_boot_disks to items 2 thru nonbootnumber of alldisks
