I'm working on curtin support for multipath, and after a very long set of things, I believe I'm down to this bug, and are seeing it reproducibly using trusty+hwe-v on ppc64el (note, I've never seen it in trusty+hwe-u).
I believe that your re-setting of ROOT= guarantees failure of boot if you install multipath-tools-boot on a system that does not have multipath. That seems less than ideal. It basically changes "can" to "will" in bug 1463046 . We are currently working around bug 1432062 by using user_friendly_names. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429327 Title: Boot from an unique, stable, multipath-dependent symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1429327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
