Sundtek MediaTV Pro / Fedora with external USB disk vs. mediaclient with systemdcheck
« am: September 23, 2013, 09:17:34 Vormittag »
Hello,
I think I might have hit a case that wasn't perhaps expected by the driver. I have a Fedora 19 installed on a machine, and my data files are mounted at boot on /var/media. This is an external USB 3.0 disk. After installing the Sundtek driver, I'm unable to boot. After a timeout during boot, I'm in emergency mode, where I can choose to proceed (Ctrl+D) or enter in the maintenance mode. Neither means that the mount points will be available upon booting. But I'm able to mount them once boot is completed.
After some hours debugging (and of reinstalling fedora, piece by piece), I've found out that if I remove the "--systemdcheck" from /etc/udev/rules.d/80-mediasrv-eeti.rules , I'm able to boot just fine, but the Sundtek driver won't start. And it seems that starting the mediaclient doesn't just work. As I didn't have time to debug this particular problem, I've decided to just reinstall the driver, and it worked.
So, currently, I have two choices:
a) Leave the system in the state that the installer left, but as a price to pay, the boot will be extremelly long and the devices won't be mounted (but hey, mediaclient will be working)
b) Remote "systemdcheck" from the rules directory, and reinstall the driver after each reboot.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this? For debugging purposes, what concrete things can I do to help you? Send the boot.log? dmesg?
