Description Gunther Schlegel 2006-01-20 12:06:59 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923 Fedora/1.7.12-1.5.1

Description of problem:
When the device-mapper-multipath package is installed, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit tries to start /sbin/multipath. /sbin/multipath fails, because it needs to load libsysfs.so.1, which is located in the /usr filesystem. The /usr filesystem is not mounted at this time, only the root filesystem is.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.93.20.EL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL4 U2 with a separate /usr filesystem
2. Install device-mapper-multipath
3. Reboot and watch output
  

Actual Results:  /sbin/multipath fails and complains about missing libsysfs.so.1

Expected Results:  /sbin/multipath should work with error message and actually do it's job.

Additional info:

You need to run /sbin/multipath.static instead of /sbin/multipath, just like you do with the lvm commands. /sbin/multipath.static is already there, you just need to fix the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
