Comment 1 David Walser 2015-07-30 18:35:57 CEST 
I'm not sure if it's related to this issue, but this will happen when /boot/grub/device.map is missing or empty, which our tools cause to happen sometimes.  I'm not sure why.

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2015-07-31 09:24:56 CEST 
What's the output of ls -l /dev/mapper/sil*
Can you attach (not paste) your /etc/fstab

Comment 3 papoteur 2015-08-01 18:13:34 CEST 
The user reported:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/mapper/sil*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 0 août 1 14:23 /dev/mapper/sil_cbahbibgbjcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 août 1 14:23 /dev/mapper/sil_cbahbibgbjccp1 -> ../dm-1

And I add the fstab file.

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2016-12-12 17:42:50 CET 
So we've sil_cbahbibgbjcc1 vs sil_cbahbibgbjccp1
(aka "1" vs "p1")
The path in /etc/fstab doesn't match the real device name

Was it a fresh mga5 install or an older install (eg: mga4) later upgraded to mga5 ?

Ccing Thomas as we've had issues regarding this in the past

 @ papoteur

*If* you can still reproduce this issue, can you please reply to that question? (replace 5 with 6 if you still have this on Mga6)

Please close this bug as FIXED if it got fixed in Mga5, and as OLD if it got fixed in Mga6 :-)
