patch to add .static versions of prio checkers
Ben, the patch in comment #1 adds an extra .static version for each command, like the existing multipath.static. It's a trivial change to mkinitrd if you'd prefer to just build the regular commands statically though (this is what udev does now for scsi_id etc). This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Has this actually caused any errors? Because according to bz #234928, the there shouldn't be a need for any static packages, and I'd rather not bloat initramfs unnecessarily. If initramfs starts scanning for multipath devices, and dynamically building them, it will need to include every prio callout program. I'm going to look into this myself, but I'd like to know if you have actually seen any errors. Still a need for RHEL5 and earlier - F7 onwards are including libc in the initramfs so we'll need to drop the .static versions for those packages. Patch applied, thanks. *** Bug 244851 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.

Description of problem: The multipath command may need to run path priority callouts to configure multipath maps at boot up time. This requires statically linked versions of the commands.
