Hermes Agent service account 489b8aeb35 WIP: iscsi-multipath-init DaemonSet attempts
Successfully writes /system/etc/multipath.conf but cannot write to /etc
due to Talos read-only filesystem restrictions.

Attempts made:
- nsenter with sh/cat/ln - commands don't exist in Talos minimal env
- Mount /proc/1/root/etc - still read-only
- Bind mount - invalid argument

Blocker: Talos /etc is truly read-only post-boot. PX-CSI also fails
with same nsenter/command issues when trying to validate multipath.conf.

Next: Investigate PX-CSI configuration options or Talos machine config alternatives.

# iSCSI Multipath Initialization DaemonSet
#
# Configures multipath.conf for Pure Storage FlashArray on Talos worker nodes.
# Runs as a DaemonSet with an initContainer that writes configuration.
#
# IMPORTANT: On Talos, /etc is an overlayfs with writable upper layer in /system/etc
# We write directly to /system/etc which then appears in /etc
