Blacklist the wwwid in multipath.conf and/or blacklist the disk type in multipath.
And/or whitelist the disks you want multipath to manage.
If all of your disks have 2 paths and are expected to have 2 paths then you can set file_multipaths to only manage devices with 2 paths, but to make multipath work right in the one path case the disks need to be listed in the bindings file.
The short term is add ,nofail to the options on the mount then it will always boot up but may not mount /boot. But make sure /boot is mounted when doing the things mentioned below.
The bios finds the data on /boot and puts what is needed to boot into memory, once that is done you really only need /boot on the machine if you are updating kernels/changing grub options/rebuilding initrds.

so it is there and seen but why the block device is not created? Copying the content of (sda1)boot into /boot and reinstalling grub could probably work but how?
Hi GianPiero,
This is strange. I don't know why there's no device file for the first partition (/dev/sda1). Can you try "partprobe /dev/sda" to see if it creates the file?
Thanks all for the help
I didn't know this command (never neded it..) but yes, it did create the file now I have # ls /dev/sd* /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
and "blkid" has /dev/sda1: UUID="f365a320-f3d7-4c07-8bfb-f0164b9ce8c0" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="xfs" PARTUUID="6ccdd7fd-01" that wasn't there before.
Are you sure /dev/sda1 was used for /boot ?
I think so(it was the partion marked as bootable), and now that I can mount it I can see that all the usal /boot stuff is there. Can you
show the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"?
# cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-5.10.19-200.fc33.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora_node06-root ro resume=/dev/mapper/fedora_node06-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora_node06/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora_node06/swap rhgb quiet
As Roger said the problem seems to be multipath but if there is no fix to the fact that sda1 disappeared (any idea?) I suppose the solution now could be to copy all the stuff from sda1 in /boot and recreate grub in sda ignoring sda1. Unless it needs a separate /boot, I think UEFI is disabled but I am not sure, or for the weird RAID stuff.
As I said I am doing all this remotely so I have to be careful not to break the boot.
Thanks again.
