Subj: 	odemount -bg -all hangs since inr disk upheaval...

Hello,

  I attended the ODE class on Monday in hopes that I could determine what 
  the problem is with starting up ODE on my workstation, but I still 
  don't know what is wrong.

  It worked fine for about 5 months -- that is, until the recent disk 
  manipulations took place on "inr" a few weeks ago.  Since that time, 
  the "/sbin/rc3.d/S87ode3.0" startup script hangs every time on boot, 
  and I have to Ctrl-C out of it to bring my system up.  When I do this,
  some trees are successfully mounted, but others aren't.

  I put a set -x at the top of the S87ode3.0 script, and have attached the
  output to this file.  It simply hangs on the "odemount -bg -all" line.
  Are there any clues in it that can tell me why it can no longer complete 
  its mission?  I've also attached a copy of my /etc/fstab, netinfo output, 
  and my sde server mount.

  Thanks,
   Dave Anderson

This really has nothing to do with inr, but has to do with change to odemount. 
See the attached message.

Dick,

Is your system setup as an ode client (it should be a client, not
a server).  Is it setup to do odemounts at bootup?  If you're doing
odemount -all, this mounts about 150 filesystems; you may want to
change this to only mount the trees you really use.

There was a change in odemount recently - when you reboot, if you're
setup to call odemount (grep ODEMOUNT /etc/rc.config), then this odemount
uses the -bg switch.  It used to cause odemount to call mount as follows:
	mount filesystem directory &
	mount filesystem directory &
	...
It now does
	mount -o bg filesystem directory
	mount -o bg filesystem directory
	...

Where the 'bg' switch, from the 'man mount' reference page is defined as:

  bg  Retries in the background, if the first mount attempt fails.

If this is hanging your system (some nfs exports may be unavailable),
then this may be a bug in the version of UNIX you're running.  You may
want to file a QAR against Digital UNIX (not ODE).

Try this as a workaround:  modify the file /sbin/init.d/ode3.0 to call
odemount in the background, and to log its output.
I.e., at line 80 of this startup script, change the command from:
  /usr/sde/${ODE_DEFAULT_DIR}/tools/common/odemount ${ODEMOUNT3_OPTS}
  ${ODE_ODEMOUNT_STRING} > /dev/null 2>&1

to:
  /usr/sde/${ODE_DEFAULT_DIR}/tools/common/odemount ${ODEMOUNT3_OPTS}
  ${ODE_ODEMOUNT_STRING} > /var/adm/odemount.log 2>&1 &
                           ^-changed to a file and    ^-added the '&'

If this isn't at line 80 you may have an old startup that isn't calling
using the -bg switch.  Rerun '/usr/sde/install/ode install' if this is
the case.

If anything useful shows up in the log file it may help diagnose the problem.
