another comment, the path that i was pursuing, and almost have in place was to have /etc/multipath/bindings with consitent names and then boot with root=/dev/mappings/mpathX[-partY].
Mauricio's suggestion of boting with root=multipath-UUID is nicer in the event of a disk being replaced. As my solution would result in failure to boot if you replaced the physical disk with another with identical data (ie, you noticed it was going bad). So, i do like the idea of multipath-<uuid> except for the guaranteed boot failure if you install that package and do not have multipath. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429327 Title: Boot from an unique, stable, multipath-dependent symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1429327/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
