After seeing multipathd not logging what I was expecting it to, I checked to see if it was ever dropping messages, and it was. In fact, I get dropped messages on start up most of the time. The attached patch, against multipath-tools-0.4.4-pre16, doubles the default logarea size. At that size, I haven't seen any dropped messages. I'm not sure that this is the right size, but it definitely works better for me. -Ben
