Description Victoriano Giralt 2005-12-11 22:53:11 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
Multipath userland tool depends on libsysfs. As this library is located in /usr/lib, and /usr not being mounted in early statup phases, multipath cannot start and prepare multipath devices appropriatelly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sysfsutils-1.2.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install device-mapper-multipath
2.Reboot the system
3.multipaht fails
  

Expected Results:  multipath shpuld have worked

Additional info:

Problem is solved with following commands:

# cp /usr/lib/libsysfs.so.1.0.2 .
# ln -s libsysfs.so.1.0.2 libsysfs.so.1
# ln -s libsysfs.so.1.0.2 libsysfs.so
# ldconfig

how are you using multipath during bootup?

Are you just trying to multipath your rootfs?
If so, how did you build your initrd?

Are you using any additional scripts during startup with multipath?
If so, you should use /sbin/multipath.static instead.

Closing, based on lack of response to the bug for over a year now.
