[SOLVED] LVM - Mounting Prevents SSH Connection

slhawkins · Post by **slhawkins** » 2011/03/26 11:11:37

I've got a server over at 1and1 with CentOS 5.5. I created a new logical volume, created a filesystem (XFS), mounted, and copied files over to it. I then added it to my fstab and rebooted to test it. After the reboot I couldn't get back into the system, whenever I would try to SSH into it I got a "Connection Refused". Here's the crazy part though - I have a teamspeak server on that logical volume, and when the server rebooted the teamspeak server worked! So the volume mounted and the service started.

However, that doesn't help my "Connection Refused" part. When I reboot to recovery mode and remove the line from fstab it'll let me login via SSH on a reboot. So what am I doing wrong? I can manually remount with no apparent issues once I'm able to SSH in. Thanks for the help.

Nevermind! It had nothing to do with the LVM - the service that was on the LVM was corrupt (Something's wrong with TS3...) and it was preventing services beyond that one from starting.
