I would suggest turning off multipathing to setup/install and then turn it on afterwards. It is possible , I don't think the deb install can handle it. But step are. install base os on a single pathed lun setup multipathd to another lun partition up with part 1 ~500M boot part 2 ~10-20G / part 3 <some size> as swap size are suggestion, keep this lun simple with just the core OS, make sure to use label! make the another lun( or luns) as data reboot and make sure multipathd is working in your initrd copy you working system image across to the multipathed lun - don't forget to install grub on there. This is not a process for the faint of heart, but it can be done, I have done it a few times Alex > > Thanks > Cuccu > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
