[gpfsug-discuss] Systemd will not allow the mount of a filesystem

[John Hearns]

I am setting up a filesystem for some tests, so this is not mission critical. This is on an OS with systemd
When I create a new filesystem, named gpfstest, then mmmount it the filesystem is logged as being mounted then immediately dismounted.
Having fought with this for several hours I now find this in the system messages file:

Aug  2 10:36:56 tosmn001 systemd: Unit hpc-gpfstest.mount is bound to inactive unit dev-gpfstest.device. Stopping, too.

I stopped then started gpfs. I have run a systemctl daemon-reload
I created a new filesystem, using the same physical disk, with a new filesystem name, testtest,  and a new mountpoint.

Aug  2 11:03:50 tosmn001 systemd: Unit hpc-testtest.mount is bound to inactive unit dev-testtest.device. Stopping, too.

GPFS itself logs:
Wed Aug  2 11:03:50.824 2017: [I] Command: successful mount testtest
Wed Aug  2 11:03:50.837 2017: [I] Command: unmount testtest
Wed Aug  2 11:03:51.192 2017: [I] Command: successful unmount testtest

If anyone else has seen this behavior please let me know. I found this issue https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1741
However the only suggested fix is a system daemon-reload, and if this doesn't work ???

Also if this is a stupid mistake on my part, I pro-actively hang my head in shame.
