Description Lutz Zellober 2010-07-29 13:36:07 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Firefox/3.6.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

The Multipathd daemon doesn't start, when started by the init script. No messages in the log, even when Arg "-v3" is given. Manual start as daemen also fails.

Starting with the Arg "-d" (foreground mode) works. 

strace shows "normal end" of parend and child.

Tests without and with a configuration file (/etc/multipath,conf) showed same results.


Please help.

Hi,
downloading the multipath-tools-debugsource from the repo i noticed a difference in the version.
The installed multipathd -k prints out "multipath-tools v0.4.9 (04/04, 2009), the provided debug source is version 0.4.8.51.3.
Is this a mistake?

/etc/init.d/multipathd:

Line 26:
ARGS="-d"

Line 55:
