Yes, we should fix this, but indeed it's mostly harmless. Tracked upstream at https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/664.
Mistakenly moved to POST; this still needs additional triage.
The underlying issue is https://github.com/opensvc/multipath-tools/issues/15, a misalignment between socket and service unit conditions. Additionally, Fedora and RHEL carry an additional patch for `ConditionPathExists=/etc/multipath.conf` which is not upstream. It will need to be fixed and backported separately.
Upstream fix at https://github.com/opensvc/multipath-tools/pull/16. However the RPM is adding additional custom conditions to the service unit, so the socket unit will need to be fixed downstream too. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2008098 is the request to fix Fedora packaging, while https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2008101 is the ticket for RHEL 8 packages.
Backport for RHCOS/OCP was requested last week: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2008101#c8
This ends up being a tracker BZ for a fix that is being delivered via RHEL. I'm updating the summary accordingly and targeting this for 4.11. I'll create clones tracking the inclusion of the fix all the way back to OCP/RHCOS 4.7.z
This one has been fixed in 8.6 and backported to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2054876. We should be able to verify that it is fixed in RHCOS now.
Backported to 8.4*
The fixed package `device-mapper-multipath-0.8.4-22.el8` was landed in RHCOS 411.86.202207150124-0 and was shipped as part of OCP 4.11.0-rc.4
