Package: multipath-tools-boot Version: 0.4.8+git0.761c66f-9 Severity: normal
Hi, I have a bunch of virtual (kvm) lenny machines, booting with iscsi-root. An update to squeeze consistently breaks booting, because the /dev/disk/by-uuid symbolic links do not point to the correct mpath devices, e.g. on squeeze: c33ab1d4-4861-4638-a753-5c3ccfb47847 -> ../../sdb1 on lenny: c33ab1d4-4861-4638-a753-5c3ccfb47847 -> ../../dm-1 instead, they point to the underlying physical device, which leads to "Device or resource busy" when trying to mount the root filesystem. The output of multipath -ll under squeeze says: 3600c0ff000da565a9721ed4b01000000dm-0 HP ,MSA2324i size=9.3G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active | `- 3:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=10 status=enabled `- 2:0:0:1 sda 8:0 active ready running and under lenny: 3600c0ff000da565a9721ed4b01000000dm-0 HP ,MSA2324i [size=9.3G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 3:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 2:0:0:1 sda 8:0 [active][ready] So, the multipath devices are there. Under /dev/mapper/ is see symlinks under squeeze, e.g. 3600c0ff000da565a9721ed4b01000000-part1 -> ../dm-1 whereas under lenny I see blockdevices (however, I do not know if this is a problem or intended). Also I am not sure, if multipath-tools-boot is causing the problem, please re-assign if necessary. Please also note, that I am reporting the bug from a lenny system. (however, I adjusted the package version in the header).
