Description Thomas Krieger 2005-10-27 15:52:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

During system startup in rc.sysinit multipath devices are loaded. This only 
works if /usr is not mounted on a seperate partition. The following instruction 
is executed: /sbin/multipath -v 0. Unfortunately /sbin/multipath is linked 
dynamically and therefore the execution failed with libsysfs.so.1 missing 
because this library is located in /usr/lib!

In my opinion there are two possible solutions to solve this bug:
1.) locate libsysfs.so.1 in /lib
2.) use /bin/multipath.static instead of /sbin/multipath in rc.sysinit.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.93-20.EL-1

How reproducible:
Setup a host and mount /usr to a seperate partition


Actual results:
/usr mounted on seperate partition setup of multipath devices fails
/usr located in the root filesystem setup of multipath devices works as expected
