Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.4.8-12
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I've installed multipath-tools on lenny, but it fails to find any multipath devices. I've run multipath -v3 and it gives the following error:
cciss!c0d0: getuid = /lib/udev/scsi_id -n -g -u -d /dev/%n (controller setting)
/lib/udev/scsi_id: invalid option -- n
error calling out /lib/udev/scsi_id -n -g -u -d /dev/cciss!c0d0
The -n option is not supported by /lib/udev/scsi_id.
Adding the getuid_callout option to the defaults section of /etc/multipath.conf without the -n option does not seem to help. It seems the section is ignored?
The version of udev on this machine is 0.125-6.
According to the man page, the default command that is issued is /lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/%n, without the -n option.
Regards,
Rik
