Hi Scott, I believe that your re-setting of ROOT= guarantees failure of boot if you install multipath-tools-boot on a system that does not have multipath. Good to see more opinions on the this topic. Well, I'm not positive the change to root=UUID=multipath- (done via ROOT=) would be well

Yeah, its been fun. I'm not sure what you mean by accepted. as in accepted upstream or as in the initramfs would respect your change to ROOT. initramfs will respect your change to root. Your path *will* work, but will break anyone that doesn't have their root device on multipath. For curtin,
