The problem is that nobody, afaik, has tested the combination of multipath-tools and dracut together. dracut, afair, claims to be a drop-in replacement for initramfs-tools. But I am not sure at all. Right now, multipath-tools has tight integration with initramfs-tools. Also the sg3-utils-udev package ships in modules to add further integration. If dracut can do the equivalent, then we can relax the dependencies. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
