Are you talking about the setting in multipath.conf.synthetic ? If so, it is just there as a synthax example. Nobody should copy this template in /etc/ without editing to fit its needs. The philosophy should be : 1. try first with no config file 2. if not satisfied, try to massage a config file 3. when satisfied, submit your tuning for inclusion in the default hardware table. For most users, there should only be aliases in the config file.
