Public bug reported: Booting a multipathed systems can fail in initramfs if the wwids file is not present and multipath-tools (with find_multipaths enabled) runs its detection before udev has completely detected all disk paths.
Solution would be to either copy wwids file on the initramfs image so that it's available on boot, or to make sure udev runs and finds all paths before running the multipath detection in scripts/local- top/multipath. ** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1479929 Title: multipath-tools missing wwids can cause paths to be ignored on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1479929/+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
