http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921570 --- Comment #1 from Steffen Hau --- I hit the submit button a bit to early. After enabling multipathd.service on the the spare blade, it also boots to emergency mode. Disabling multipathd.service and rebooting makes the system boot again. The same applies to the updated system. I have no clue why multipathd prevents the system from assembling md2. In emergency mode I checked "multipath -ll" and "dmsetup ls --tree" and both do not have the disk devices used for md2 in use. I'll attach the journalctl -b output both for a failed (multipathd enabled) boot as well as for a successfull (multipathd disabled) boot. Disabling multipathd is no option as the system is equipped with a FC LUN from our SAN. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm now waiting for the multipath-tools update. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you were to enable multipath on a non-multipathed root system you need to blacklist the root filesystem. I don't know why I should have to do that. OpenSUSE 13.1 works fine with Swap, / and /srv each on RAID1 md devices and additional multipathed FC LUN's. OpenSUSE 13.2 also assembles SWAP and /, but misses /srv if multipathd.service is enabled.

Also, due to the timing involved multipath might claim the device for MD, so if MD references the devices as raw block devices (ie using /dev/sdX) it won't be able to start. If already written that I have checked that point. While in emergency mode, dmsetup does not report /dev/sd[a,b]3 to be claimed (see #c4). I can manually assemble the missing array and continue booting.
