Hi,

Just got very confused trying to add create an additional brick on my glust=
er node (I had created one yesterday and all was fine0

I had already created a partition on my /dev/sdb called sdb1

But when I tried mkfs.xfs  (I am using xfs as that was in the example I was=
 following - if LVM or something else would be better I am open to suggesti=
ons!)

It said /dev/sdb1 no such file or directory - which confused me as this wor=
ked yesterday.

I deleted the partition recreated it and tried and then it said that the de=
vice 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 pus=
hed the gluster install to it from the ovirt-engine?  And does that install=
 multi
