Package: multipath-tools-boot Version: 0.5.0-6+deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hi, in debugging an issue on Ubuntu under ubuntu bug 1462530 (http://pad.lv/1462530), we found that /etc/multipath/bindings needs to be included in the initramfs. The code in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/multipath will do that, but only if the file exists. The file is created in normal operation by the multipath-tools service (/etc/init.d/multipath-tools). However a normall install path of: apt-get install multipath-tools-boot will cause multipath-tools service to be started in the background and will not guarantee that the file exists before update-initramfs runs the hooks file to collect it. One possible way of addressing this would be to run 'multipath -r' to force its creation. That does possibly have side affects. Generally speaking this is an unlikely race condition to hit, but I don't see anything that guarantees it wont happen. -- Package-specific info: /etc/multipath.conf does not exist. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages multipath-tools-boot depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii initramfs-tools 0.120 ii multipath-tools 0.5.0-6+deb8u1 multipath-tools-boot recommends no packages. multipath-tools-boot suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
