Playing with this more, I think I see what you mean now. Indeed there
appear to be bugs.
Martin,
Could you please take a look at all the systemd units and init scripts,
and how they intervene with each other?
* /etc/init.d/multipath-tools-boot
- this one works fine
* /etc/init.d/multipath-tools
- this one is enabled by default, and starts up without loading dm-multipath
first
* /lib/systemd/system/multipathd.service
- a trap, that is easy to shoot oneself in the foot.
- has alias Alias=multipath-tools.service but doesn't appear to properly be
enabled in maintainer scripts, and doesn't seem to be masking
multipath-tools-boot initscript at all.
- does not appear to be operational properly.
- references non-existant units
- deamon fails to create socket... yet unit declares that socket activation
is to be used.
Could you please dig further into these units and check what needs
fixing?

Title:
System will not start with multipathd enabled
Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in multipath-tools source package in Xenial:
New
Bug description:
If I do these three commands on a fresh Ubuntu clone which has one
pair of FCP devices pointing to a LUN:
# apt-get -y install multipath-tools
# systemctl enable multipathd
# reboot
The system will not come back up. It seems to spin with the messages:
“A start job is running for Device-M...vice Controller (<x> / 1min
30s)” In 90 seconds it times out and starts counting again.
