It said /dev/sdb1 no such file or directory – which confused me as this worked yesterday. I deleted the partition recreated it and tried and then it said that the device was busy. It appears that multipathd is the culprit… but what I am struggling with is why it worked yesterday?? I may have created the partition before I pushed the gluster install to it from the ovirt-engine? And does that install multi pathd and it is now grabbing my devices? It is the only thing I can think of. And if that is the case – I guess I have to blacklist these devices in multipath.conf while I create the partitions? And reboot and then remove the blacklist and reboot – seems a bit clunky, is there a better way to add partitions and bricks? Or I am just in a vortex wormhole of misunderstanding and grasping at stars to try and pull myself out ? Thankyou for any advice – especially as this may not be so ovirt or a question, but it’s what I am working on.
