Error with mirroring rockstor os

@HBDK Hello again.

I’m assuming you are following the Mirroring Rockstor OS using Linux Raid howto in the docs. In which case I think I know what’s going wrong.

Please see my following in a potentially related thread:

ie I suspect we have a label mismatch in our 3.9.1 iso which is noted in the following issue:

rescue stage2 label incorrect

Thanks to forum member jakeyg in the following forum thread for highlighting thi…s issue. When attempting to execute the "Rescue a Rockstor system" option such as for root password reset as per Rockstor docs: http://rockstor.com/docs/reset-root-password.html the root cannot be found. This is due to an incorrect boot parameter, made visible via the TAB key: ``` inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Rockstor\x203.0\x20x86_64 ``` which equates to a label of "Rockstor 3.0 x86_64" where as from the info available towards the beginning of "/run/initramfs/rdsoreport.txt" in the failed scenario we have the install media as having the label "Rockstor 3 x86_64". Thus changing the inst.stage2 entry to the following: ``` inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Rockstor\x203\x20x86_64 ``` results in a successful rescue system boot. Please update the following forum thread with this issues resolution: https://forum.rockstor.com/t/recovering-root-password/4027

Let us know if this sorts your problem.

Hope that helps.
