This is running on anaconda-18.21-1 with the following patches: http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/20121030-hidden-formats.0.patch http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/20121030-kpartx-naming.0.patch http://fpaste.org/OmnF/raw/ I should also mention that anaconda is now running kpartx without the "-p p" option. This is caused by malformed device UUIDs. Grub2 relies on dm UUID to identify a multipath device and also to differentiate a multipath device from its partitions. You can get the UUID of the partition by running the following command: dmsetup info /dev/mapper/mpatha1 The first partition on a multipath device should have a UUID like: part1-mpath-blablabla However, for some reason, when anaconda creates the partitions on a multipath disk, the partitions get assigned a UUID like: mpath-blablablap1 Note the 'p1' at the end of the UUID. Grub2 should work fine if the multipath devices get assigned proper UUID's. moving to F18Blockerppc As Gustavo mentioned, this seems to have been a leftover uuid issue and not a multipath problem in itself. Closing this bug then as NOTABUG. Thanks & regards, Phil |
