Environment
Novell Storage Services (NSS)
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES2)
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES2)
Situation
After updating to OES2, the NSS volumes fail to mount at boot time.
After the server is running, you can simply run the
/etc/init.d/novell-nss start command and the volumes will mount
properly.

Resolution
Move the mount point to some location other than root "/", and make
sure the new location does NOT have a file or directory called"nss".
Updating to the latest novell-nss package resolves the issue.

Additional Information
The services are started from root "/" and the
/etc/init.d/novell-nss script runs the modinfo nss command. The
modinfo command looks in the current working directory first for
the module nss. Since it finds a directory called nss, it fails;
thus causing the volumes to fail at boot time. Once you login, your
current working directory is something other than /, so it
works.
