Hi all, I have a question related to failover/failback. I'm running 0.4.5-0.11. I'm wondering what the path checker does for the multipathd daemon. Here's my senario: I have two paths to a LUN, configure it with 'multipath -v 2 -p failover'. Run some I/O down the path of the /dev/mapper/<device>. I fail one of the paths either by pulling the fibre or disabling the port it's connected to. When I run 'multipath -ll' I see the failed path 'failed faulty'. I restore the path physically. Run 'multipath -ll' again to see the status and it's 'failed ready'. Now, my question is, is multipathd supposed to handle making that path 'active ready'? I have 'failback immediate' set in the /etc/multipath.conf file. And it does do the immediate failback,...but based on the 'active ready' status. To get to that status, I have to actually issue a 'multipath' command to reinstate the path to active. Is there something that I'm missing or am I just going to have to make a cron job run every few minutes to do path status updates?
