Currently there is a directory that is mounting over another directory on boot. I cannot figure out for the life of me where this is coming from. The problem mount is the last mount on the df -ah output...

UPDATE: A little more color. The /gfs2 directory below is a legacy directory on the root partition. I want to mount the /dev/mapper/vg_prodapi01-LogVol01 directly to the /sitelogs directory without it getting mounted over by this legacy /gfs2 directory on boot.

  • This looks "right" to me, do you not intend for /sitelogs to be written to a shared GFS2 file system? Commented Jun 29, 2015 at 14:36
  • Let me add a little more color. The /gfs2 directory is a legacy directory that the previous sysadmin had set up as a loopback mount.What I want to do is just mount the disk directly to the /sitelogs directory as indicated in the fstab.

We have pinpointed the issue. This is ridiculous. The previous sysadmin had created an init script to make the directory and mount it on boot without outputting anything.

Lesson for everyone -- please use standard configurations and save the sanity of the next person ahead of you.
