Problem EMC disks, disksuite and mpxio after reboot
For a mail server i created one big volume with disksuite over 15 EMC volumes of 32GB each.
But after a reboot metainit complains it can't find any metadb's, (system needs maintenance).
It seems like metainit is invoked before the multipathing is enabled. So disksuite doesn't find any metadb's.
Has anybody an idea what's happening here?
In the server the're two fibre cards with mpxio enabled. The disks are then mapped under /devices/scsi_vhci/*
I then created five concats of three striped disks each.

Then I mounted these disk on /data and edited the vfstab.
Everything seems to work fine, until you reboot.
Thanks in advance
