Hello I'm trying to setup a FC Storage (Adaptec SANBloc 2Gb) using multipath (Kernel 2.6.15 - multipath-tool-0.4.7 on Fedora Core 5 ) Everything seem to run right, but the disk created by multipath does not reflect the physical one. I do have a physical volume that is about 67GB big, when multipath creates the dm device it is at least 1GB. Here is the output of multipath -v3: ---------------------------------------------------- dm-0: blacklisted dm-1: blacklisted dm-2: blacklisted dm-4: blacklisted dm-5: blacklisted fd0: blacklisted hdd: blacklisted md0: blacklisted ram0: blacklisted ram10: blacklisted ram11: blacklisted ram12: blacklisted ram13: blacklisted ram14: blacklisted ram15: blacklisted ram1: blacklisted ram2: blacklisted ram3: blacklisted ram4: blacklisted ram5: blacklisted ram6: blacklisted ram7: blacklisted ram8: blacklisted ram9: blacklisted sda: not found in pathvec sda: mask = 0x1f sda: bus = 1 sda: dev_t = 8:0 sda: size = 71553024 sda: vendor = LSILOGIC sda: product = 1030 IM sda: rev = 1000 sda: h:b:t:l = 0:0:1:0 sda: serial = sda: path checker = readsector0 (config file default) sda: state = 2 sda: getprio = /bin/true (config file default) sda: prio = 0 sda: getuid = /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n (config file default) error calling out /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sda sdb: not found in pathvec sdb: mask = 0x1f sdb: bus = 1 sdb: dev_t = 8:16 sdb: size = 142114816 sdb: vendor = EUROLOGC sdb: product = FC2502 sdb: rev = 7902 sdb: h:b:t:l = 2:0:0:0 sdb: tgt_node_name = 0x20000080e512dc77 sdb: serial = 0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 sdb: path checker = readsector0 (controler setting) sdb: state = 2 sdb: getprio = /bin/true (config file default) sdb: prio = 0 sdb: getuid = /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -p 0x80 -s /block/%n (controler setting) sdb: uid = SEUROLOGCFC2502_0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 (callout) sdc: not found in pathvec sdc: mask = 0x1f sdc: bus = 1 sdc: dev_t = 8:32 sdc: size = 142114816 sdc: vendor = EUROLOGC sdc: product = FC2502 sdc: rev = 7902 sdc: h:b:t:l = 2:0:1:0 sdc: tgt_node_name = 0x20000080e512dc77 sdc: serial = 0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 sdc: path checker = readsector0 (controler setting) sdc: state = 2 sdc: getprio = /bin/true (config file default) sdc: prio = 0 sdc: getuid = /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -p 0x80 -s /block/%n (controler setting) sdc: uid = SEUROLOGCFC2502_0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 (callout) ===== paths list ===== uuid hcil dev dev_t pri 0:0:1:0 sda 8:0 0 SEUROLOGCFC2502_0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 0 SEUROLOGCFC2502_0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000 2:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 0 8:16 ownership set to hdmail sdb: not found in pathvec sdb: mask = 0xc sdb: state = 2 sdb: prio = 0 8:32 ownership set to hdmail sdc: not found in pathvec sdc: mask = 0xc sdc: state = 2 sdc: prio = 0 hdmail: pgfailback = -2 (config file default) hdmail: pgpolicy = failover (controler setting) hdmail: selector = round-robin 0 (controler setting) hdmail: features = 0 (internal default) hdmail: hwhandler = 0 (internal default) hdmail: rr_weight = 2 (config file default) hdmail: minio = 100 (config file default) hdmail: no_path_retry = -1 (config file default) hdmail: set ACT_CREATE (map does not exist) hdmail: set ACT_CREATE (map does not exist) create: hdmail (SEUROLOGCFC2502_0000dc7720000080e512dc770000000000000000) [size=1 GB][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][undef] \_ 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [undef][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][undef] \_ 2:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 [undef][ready] ---------------------------------------------------- When you look at the disk size, it return the correct value but when it creates the dm device it does it too small. Do you have any Idea why this happen? Thanks a lot for your work and your help Regards, Arsène -- -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
