start job swap, data, pve at boot taking long more than 30 sec

[vigilian]

Hi,

I hve a strange thing at start. Several startjob have some difficulties to start apparently.
dev-pve-swap or dev-pve-data etc...
My system is on a ssd. How should I check if the swap partition is activated or if the partition table is damaged somehow?

I've seen that it was answered here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fsck-failure-on-reboot-with-fix.961/
but I guess it's not up-to date, so how can I verify the integrity?

Hi,

it would be usefull to have some information over the fs where the os is on it.
Or do you use the default disk layout with lvm and ext3/4?

 

[vigilian]

Yeah I don't think that I change a thing, I mean I think I use the default installation but not sure anymore. What precise information can I give you and where to find it?

 

[wolfgang]

please send the output of
lsblk

I don't even know how can I do a fsck on proxmox since it always answer to me:
fsck /dev/mapper/pve-root
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
/dev/mapper/pve-root is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

 

[wolfgang]

This is normally done automatically on boot.
But to be sure check the fstab.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fsck#fstab_options

 

[vigilian]

here it is:
/dev/pve/root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0


#vm
/dev/vm/vm /vm ext4 defaults 0 2


So the waiting and notification for upstartjob is it the filesystemcheck working?
no way to do a fsck in normal boot manually then? I have to do it in emergency mode?

 

[wolfgang]

Correct you have do do it offline with a live cd or rescue mode.

 

[vigilian]

so what do you think? is this worrying or not? is the upstart job in fact the fsck job?

 

[wolfgang]

I think no.
But one question, do you start the VM all at the same time.
If so this can make problems if your Disk is to slow.

 

[vigilian]

yes but the upstart job is before the launching of the VM. and the VM are starting from a RAID 10 on a adaptec 6405E with RE4 class HDD from WD.
anyway it seems that it doesn't do it anymore and I don't know why either
