[Bug 1429327] Re: Boot from an unique, stable, multipath-dependent symlink

[Scott Moser]

another comment, the path that i was pursuing, and almost have in place
was to have /etc/multipath/bindings with consitent names and then boot
with root=/dev/mappings/mpathX[-partY].

Mauricio's suggestion of boting with root=multipath-UUID is nicer in the
event of a disk being replaced.  As my solution would result in failure
to boot if you replaced the physical disk with another with identical
data (ie, you noticed it was going bad).

So, i do like the idea of multipath-<uuid> except for the guaranteed
boot failure if you install that package and do not have multipath.
