To reproduce this issue: 1. Start an installation of RHEL5 2. In the disk partitioning stage select "Create custom layout" 3. Create partitions for /boot, swap and / and turn on the "force to be a primary partition" flag for each one. 4. Finish the installation and boot the system 5. Execute '/etc/init.d/multipathd restart' and the error message will be reported. Patch applied. I changed dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o minor $root_dev >& /dev/null to dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o minor $root_dev 2> /dev/null "2>" redirects stderr to /dev/null, which I believe is the intention. *** Bug 527727 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** # mount /dev/vda3 on / type ext3 (rw) ... --device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-17.el5 # service multipathd restart Device /dev/vda3 not found Command failed Stopping multipathd daemon: [FAILED] Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ] --device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-31.el5 # service multipathd restart Stopping multipathd daemon: [ OK ] Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ] *** Bug 557699 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
