Description Donald Berry 2016-11-01 16:02:37 UTC
Description of problem:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/DM_Multipath/move_root_to_multipath.html says:
"If you need to edit the /etc/fstab file, you will also need to edit the /etc/grub/grub.conf file and change the root parameter from root=/dev/sda1 to root=/dev/mapper/rootdev."
Should this be /boot/grub/grub.conf?

yep. It should either be /etc/grub.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf

/etc/grub.conf is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf

Donald:

Thanks for pointing this out.  Since /etc/grub.conf is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf I used /etc/grub.conf here for simplicity.  I did a search of how we note the path in other places and it seems to be interchangeable.

If you think /boot/grub/grub.conf is a better choice, let me know. 

The current draft of the document now includes this fix. When I push this to the Portal I will note it in this BZ.
