Please check!!!
in main.c no zalloc of mpp structure before using it why?
in dmparser.c in the merge_words you assume the return of realloc was the
same of the passed ptr ?, if it is not the value of p may points to a
gangle
reference, so you may write a "space" char in an undefined memory
location...

Dec 9 12:22:24 m3 multipathd: checking paths
now multipath -l -v3 shows:
disk1 (360001fe1001613800009205005470164)
[size=34723 MB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ [first][enabled]
\_ 0:0:0:2 sda 8:0 [ready ][active]
and dmsetup table show:
disk1: 0 71114623 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 round-robin 0 1 1 8:0
1000
howewer it seems the multipath target is unable to continue to write on
/dev/sda where /dev/sdb goes down..
and multipathd does not recognize when /dev/sdb path returns up!
(in effect killing and restarting multipathd restores both paths)
thank you
