I am confused now of your problem. Initially you mentioned that you have multipath involved in your setup. If so, multipath will always add that device to its table and not free it, unless you blacklist that particular device in multipath's configuration. If your requirement is to boot off of the scsi device itself, either blacklist the device or purge multipath-tools and rebuild your initrd image. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
