Bug Description
Binary package hint: multipath-tools
In the process of fixing #98518 in feisty, we introduced a corner case bug.
Installing multipath-tools alone (without any other device-mapper client),
will make multipathd fail because dm-multipath is not autoloaded.
The fix is very simple by adding a udev rule as fixed in gutsy to modprobe
the proper module.
Impact: multipath will not work if dm-multipath is not loaded
Fix: make sure to load dm-multipath as soon as possible if the package is installed and this can be achieved with udev rules.
Patch: in attachement
How to reproduce: install clean feisty server (no lvm or mdadm or crypto). Install multipath-tools and see that it will fail to start. modprobe dm-multipath and start.. it will work.
