Description

A complete installation using a multipath device for the root (/) file system . For more details on multipath please consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_I/O .


How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means (boot.iso, CD, DVD, PXE or live image)
  2. Verify that there is a multipath disk in your system
multipath -ll
ls -l /dev/mapper/
  1. Proceed to the partitioning step
  2. Delete all partitions to start with empty disk(s)
  3. Create the required boot partitions needed for your architecture. This includes /boot and swap.
  4. Create the root filesystem /
  5. Complete with installation as desired

Expected Results

  2. Reboot successfully into installed system
  3. Confirm that the root filesystem is a multipath device
