Thanks Michel. That indeed needs to be fixed.

But that made me wonder how my test box had a working multipath setup.

[ ok ] multipathd is running.

So it seems to be running....

root at debian-btrfs:~# which init
/sbin/init
root at debian-btrfs:~# dpkg -S /sbin/init
sysvinit-core: /sbin/init

And this is the reason why I didn't notice this bug.


So. I'll look into it soon (but it may take some time). Meanwhile, if
you have any suggestions/fixes/patches, please add them to this bug
report.

Thanks,
Ritesh
