Package: multipath-tools-boot
Version: 0.4.8-10
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I've got a system with QLogic ISP2432 Fibre Channel card which I was
trying to boot from a multipathed /. Unfortunately multipath-tools-boot
was unable to boot the system, as it takes a while for the LUN to appear
on the system, so it is available only after /sbin/multipath was ran.
So there were no devices created in /dev/mapper/ and the system was unable
to boot, since it was set to use /dev/mapper.

I think, that /sbin/multipath shouldn't be ran only once during the system
start, but it should be triggered whenever a new device is discovered
(since initrd will wait for a root device to appear this would work nicely).
As a quick workaround I've added the following line:
echo 'ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", 
RUN+="/sbin/multipath"' > $DESTDIR/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_multipath.rules
to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/multipath and I've rebuilt initramfs.
This fixes the problem for me.

Closes: 477839 489850 492107
Changes: 
 multipath-tools (0.4.8-11) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * [3dadace] use the full path to dmsetup so we don't have to worry about
     $PATH
   * [33642da] update initramfs during postinst/postrm (Closes: #477839)
   * [41391c9] Conflict on etch's multipath-tools-initramfs - together with the
     multipath-tools-initramfs NMU from Bernd Zeimetz this provides a clean
     upgrade path from etch to lenny for multipath-tools-initramfs users.
   * [4f8a5d1] Call multipath via udev on block device add/change events This
     helps slow devices when either /etc/init.d/multipath-tools-boot or the
     initramfs script are being run although the devices are not ready yet.
     (Closes: #489850) - many thanks to Janusz Dziemidowicz for his suggestions
     and testing
   * [5cbb079] add swedish debconf translation (Closes: #492107) - thanks to
     Martin Ågren
   * [12639e9] redo quilt patches - no code changes
