Hi2all I was doing some testing on multipath on san and copied a /etc/multipath.conf from one machine to another. each machine has local disk for / and all OS partitions. San/multipath is used only on data. I had black list local disk on /etc/multipath.conf but when I copied from one machine to the other...no longer blacklist After this ( i didn't noticed the error ) I issue a mkinitrd After all this when rebooting the machine with the wrong local disk black list, the boot hangs after setting hostname, wtih message "cannot create directory /var/lib filesystem read only" I have gonne into rescue mode, rebuild initrd, disable friendy_names option ( read some references about it) but cant boot. Now no create directory errors but doesn't go after setting hostname Any clues on how to fix it?
