Sorry for the late reply. My website got DMCAed, so was busy reading up
on DMCA stuff.

Yes. After I reverted back to the snapshot, my first step was to
recreate the initrd and boot with it, to ensure that the rootfs wasn't
already having buggy packages. But that generated a proper initrd.

And then manually installing just multipath-tools  broke the setup. And
like you saw, I'm having a hard time to determine the bug.


Maybe I'm just having a bad week or so. :-)
Just too many things troubling.
