Thanks, next time I'll ask whether or not the receiver has access to brew. Has the reporter provided test feedback already? Thanks. Hello GSS folks, can you help us with testing this fix with the latest 5.6 tree? Thanks, Alexander. With help from Barry Donahue I have the following setup:

The configurations is as described in comment #54.
After running mkinitrd on this system the resulting initrd.img contains multipath.conf file and no bindings file at all.
This is with mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-66.el5

initrd.img from the failed test case
Bryn, was the test valid? It looks like the issue is not resolved. Please answer comment #56-#58. Moving back to ASSIGNED until then. (In reply to comment #58) > Bryn, > was the test valid? It looks like the issue is not resolved. I think the bindings_file directive in your multipath.conf file needs to lose the equal sign. Your defaults section should be: defaults { user_friendly_names yes bindings_file /etc/multipath/bindings } My quick run through the device-mapper-multipath code tells me the equal sign is invalid syntax for that config file. Try it using the above syntax and see if the generated initrd.img works. device-mapper-multipath package maintainer confirms that the syntax in your multipath.conf file needs to change. The equal sign on the bindings_file line needs to be removed. The rest of the syntax is correct. I tested the mkinitrd code using your multipath.conf file with the equal sign removed and the correct values are picked up, so I imagine once you run through your test again, the generated initrd.img will be correct.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

Previously, mkinitrd did not support the option multipath-tools bindings_file. This update does support this option.
