need help mounting a mergerfs pool at startup

patlabor · 2017-05-23 08:14:16

Hello everyone,

i am just trying to set up a homeserver with arch linux using mergerfs for disk pooling. while everything is working fine and as expectet when i boot the server and them mount the pool by hand at each start up, i just cant get the pool mounted via fstab.

my fs tab looks like this:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# /dev/sde1 LABEL=Boot

# /dev/sda1 LABEL=Platte1
UUID=016ba9aa-99a1-48e9-b5d3-b28ab37b7869       /data/platte1   ext4            rw,relatime,data=ordered        0 2
# /dev/sdb1 LABEL=Platte2
UUID=0522076c-c99e-40ca-89b1-9ceee6b2e712       /data/platte2   ext4            rw,relatime,data=ordered        0 2

# /dev/sdg1 LABEL=Parity1

/data/platte1:/data/platte2:/data/platte3:/data/platte4:/data/platte5   /data/pool      fuse.mergerfs   x-systemd.requires=/data/platte1,x-systemd.requires=/data/platte2,x-systemd.requires=/data/platte3,x-systemd.requires=/data/platte4x-systemd.requires=/data/platte5,defaults,allow_others,use_ino                       0 0

when i boot, i end up in an emergency shell but i can continue booting, after that /data/pool is, not surprisingly, not mounted.

journalctl -xb just gives me:

May 23 09:27:41 openmediavault systemd-vconsole-setup[235]: Invalid font metadata - width: 39124224 (max 32), height: 4294953216 (max 32), count: 2166468276 (

-- The result is failed.

also systemctl status data-pool.mount is not helping me any more:

May 23 09:28:14 openmediavault systemd[1]: data-pool.mount: Unit entered failed state.

i also tried to mount the pool via systemd using:

[Unit]
Description = mergerfs pool mounten
Requires = data-platte1.mount
Requires = data-platte2.mount
Requires = data-platte3.mount
Requires = data-platte4.mount
Requires = data-platte5.mount
After = data-platte1.mount
After = data-platte2.mount
After = data-platte3.mount
After = data-platte4.mount
After = data-platte5.mount
[Mount]
What = /data/platte*
Where = /data/pool
Type = fuse.mergerfs
Options = defaults,allow_other,direct_io,use_ino,fsname=pool
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

but that is just giving me the same error as when using the fstab

any suggestions?
