Public bug reported:
To address bug 2080474, we now install multipath-tools-boot when
building Ubuntu server live ISOs so that the multipath stack is present
in the initramfs.
Unfortunately, when booting the installer, the first invocation of
`multipathd -B` (as it's done by the init-top script) fails because the
/etc/multipath/bindings file does not exist:
# multipath -B -d
| multipathd v0.11.1: start up
| reconfigure: setting up paths and maps
| _check_bindings_file: fialed to read header from /etc/multipath/bindings
| ERROR: bad settings in read-only bindings file /etc/multipath/bindings
| fatal error applying configuration - aborting
| multipathd: shut down
I say _first_ invocation, because surprisingly, the failing multipathd
command still initializes the /etc/multipath/bindings file properly, so
the next invocation of the same command can succeed.
# cat /etc/multipath/bindings
# Multipath bindings, Version : 1.0
# NOTE: this file is automatically maintained by the multipath program.
# You should not need to edit this file in normal circumstances.
#
# Format:
# alias wwid
#
# multipathd -B -d
| multipathd v0.11.1: start up
| reconfigure: setting up paths and maps
The initramfs-tools hook script for multipath can copy over the
/etc/multipath/bindings file to the initramfs, but only does so if it
exists, which is not the case just after installing multipath-tools-
boot.
