Summary 0001049: Cannot mount secondary disks!
Description Upgrading to Centos 4.2 broke my disk mounting. I've verified this on two systems with 3 different harddrives. I get the following error:

mount /dev/hde1 /mnt
mount: /dev/hde1 already mounted or /mnt busy

The device is not mounted and does not appear in /proc/mounts or when you "df".
I'm not loading the device in fstab.

I've reinstalled Centos 4.1 (works), Installed Centos 4.2 (fails), Upgrade 4.1->4.2 (fails). Something in the new upgrades killed the ability to mount. I think this is a major bug. I was running a DRBD system and that no longer was able to mount to the device. Subsequent testing showed I couln't even manually do this. I've verified this on a DIFFERENT system and with a clean install. One of my systems DOES mount a smaller drive (~10G), but not the 160G drives from different manufacturers (ATA).

In all cases my systems work fine under 4.1, but fail under the new upgrades in 4.2.

BTW, I can fdisk, mkfs, and fsck the devices (e.g. /dev/hde1) and everything reports fine. I just cannot mount them (mount command or drbd's commands fail). I've also kept drbd out of the mix with the same results.

Another point, rebooting back to the previous centos 4.1 kernel (2.6.9-11) does NOT fix the problem. It's one of the 100+ Centos 4.2 package updates that broke it.

Disks are ext3. One configuraiton has LVM running, the other uses ext2/ext3. In both cases I'm trying to mount an ext3 drive.

Removing the dmraid package solved this issue, per bug 1050.

Confirmed. My second SATA drive (/dev/sdb) would not mount. Removing the dmraid package and rebooting solved the issue.
