Hi, let me try again: Without insserv multipath-tools-boot would be started in rcS.d/S21. It aggregates /dev/sd? to devmapper devices. mdadm-raid starts in rcS.d/S25 (also known as later ;) and is able to assemble the devices.
But insserv is the default in squeeze, so the old numbering scheme is obsolete. Since mdadm-raid has no 'real' dependencies, insserv changes the sequence and starts mdadm-raid at S03 (in my case). At this stage the multipath devices are simply not present. To circumvent this I added an insserv/override for mdadm-raid on my hosts and made. I cannot think of a scenario where having multipath devs on MDs is desirable. multipathing takes care of aggregating multiple ways to get to the same disk into one device (and choosing a way that works). There are no different "ways" to get to the same MD. Regards Stefan Bender -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
