If so, how long a sleep > would you suggest? You'll probably need to experiment. Start with something like 5. If that works, try cutting it down. I'll try to get a test-rpm with the patch I sent earlier built soonish, so you can try that. I don't think udevsettle would help things anyway. It looks like your devices may have come online before udev was started. In that case, udev won't handle them, which is why the multipath call exists in rc.sysinit. -Ben > Thanks, > Rick > > -----Original Message----- > From: dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of malahal@xxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 5:20 PM > To: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Multipath not rebuilding correctly on reboot > > Greene, Rick [rick.greene@xxxxxxxxxxxx] wrote: > > Quick question...what RPM would I find udevsettle in?
