Hi,

SLES12 does not boot anymore …

There are one HDD with four partitions:

sda1 SWAP SWAP
sda2 ext4 /
sda3 ext4 /var
sda4 ext4 /tmp

Today when booting its run to the emergency.target. The host is unable
to mount SWAP /var and /tmp. But / is mounted! Even if I try to mount
them manually. =:-ø

Journalctl shows: tmp.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit dev-disk-by\…

Does anyone have seens this? How is the way to recover?

Check TID7015462!

Unfortunately it has a typo in the title. So it is not easy to find …

(Someone should repair the search funktion of the knowledgebase!)

For completeness sake (and support for search engines indexing this thread):

It’s about multipath systems where the root FS ("/") is not on a multipathed device.The TID offers a description on how to fix multipath config to properly handle this type of setup by blacklisting the root FS’s device to the multipath service. The URL to the TID is https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7015462
