And > it certainly won't abort if it cannot create one. Maybe an old version (prior to commit 6cda789 in May 2011)? - - if (pidfile_create(DEFAULT_PIDFILE, getpid())) { - - if (logsink) - - log_thread_stop(); + if (pidfile_create(DEFAULT_PIDFILE, getpid())) + /* Ignore errors, we can live without */ + condlog(1, "failed to create pidfile"); - - exit(1); - - } If this is the case then using a more recent multipath-tools would definitely be a good plan.
