Christophe, (1) Could you initialize di_flag to 0 in main() of multipath/main.c or else "multipath -l" and "multipath -ll" use a non-deterministic flags value for path discovery? (2) Could you append a "\n" to the logging string in the call to condlog() from get_word() in libmultipath/util.c? Doing so helps the readability of the event log when starting multipathd with "-v4". (3) Could you change checkerloop() in multipathd/main.c to call LOG_MSG with the checker message if the path state is failed? This would be useful for administrators and it also helps our debugging -- it helps point out cases where multipathd may think a path's checker state is failed even when "multipath -l" shows otherwise. (4) The multipathd is dying when I send it a "show paths" or "display paths" message. I haven't debugged it to know what's wrong. Ed
