Cons: I don't know how much active development ther is on MD. There is currently a lot of work on device-mapper multipathing, so if you have a problem, it's a lot easier to get help if you are using DM multipathing.. Pros: You're already using MD multipathing and presumably, are happy with it. -Ben > -- > Joe Yu > > References > > Visible links > 1. mailto:smartjoe@xxxxxxxxx > -- > > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
