Description

After the fix in CHANGELOG: Database can not start after reordered hard drives, in some cases data nodes which use exadX disk devices would fail to boot, reporting an error HDD mount failed during boot.

It is believed that this is more likely to occur with more disk devices.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

Fix

The error doesn’t appear anymore and devices boot normally.
