| 13:31 | <&ToxicFrog> | Ok, this is weird as hell |
| 13:31 | <&ToxicFrog> | I can't mount /boot |
| 13:31 | <&ToxicFrog> | No error message, strace shows that `mount(2)` returns successfully, it just doesn't get mounted |
| 13:31 | <&ToxicFrog> | Nothing in dmesg |
| 13:32 | <&ToxicFrog> | If I pick a different mountpoint for the same filesystem, it works |
| 13:33 | <@TheWatcher> | O.o |
| 13:33 | <@TheWatcher> | That is bloody odd |
| 13:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | I can't mount it somewhere else and then `mount -o bind` it into place, either. |
| 13:42 | <@abudhabi> | Reboot? |
| 13:43 | <&ToxicFrog> | If something is wrong with /boot rebooting may not work |
| 13:43 | <&ToxicFrog> | As in, may not boot |
| 13:45 | <@abudhabi> | Got a boot medium handy? |
| 13:53 | <&ToxicFrog> | I've got a liveUSB I can boot from if needed, but I would really like to avoid extended downtime on ancilla if possible |
| 14:15 | <&ToxicFrog> | Problem solved: it had previously had another drive connected with the same label and fstab was by-label, confusing it |
| 14:20 | <&ToxicFrog> | Forcing to reread the partition table and filesystem signatures with fdisk fixed it., |
| 14:24 | <@TheWatcher> | \o/ |
| 14:24 | <@TheWatcher> | That's a relief |

| 16:24 | <&[R]> | <ToxicFrog> If something is wrong with /boot rebooting may not work <-- actually that won't matter |
| 16:25 | <&[R]> | Your bootloader doesn't mount /boot, but has access to it regardless, you've confirmed the FS is fine |
| 16:26 | <&[R]> | After the initrd mounts / you don't need access to /boot for any of the remaining boot process (you actually don't need it once the initrd is loaded into memory) |
| 17:38 | <&ToxicFrog> | It's more that without the ability to update /boot there is no guarantee that any of the generations the bootloader is aware of correspond to ones that still exist on / |

| 18:00 | <&[R]> | What bootloader are you using that cares about things outside of /boot and the MBR/EFI? |

| 22:51 | <&ToxicFrog> | [R]: the bootloader is grub2 and it doesn't care, but it tells the initrd which view of / to load and the initrd cares a great deal about things like /etc actually existing |
| 22:52 | <&ToxicFrog> | Earlier I didn't know how long /boot had been in this unmountable state, so it was possible that the bootloader config on it only contained entries for generations that had been GCed since |
