Comment 26 for bug 1902855

I think there is no doubt that Matthias's disks are bad and the default behaviour is OK, but I would hope that disabling multipath via the kernel would allow an installation as desired. But it seems curtin doesn't quite work this way. Part of the issue IIRC is that the curtin multipath support doesn't assume multipathd is actually running, as for some versions of Ubuntu multipath-tools wasn't included in the environment curtin runs in. I don't think that's true for recent releases, but it might be true for xenial which MAAS presumably still has to support installing...
