Hi All Redhat Enterprise Linux AS update 4 patched up-to-date: 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Aug 17 17:57:31 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the following in my multipath.conf: > grep no_path_retry /etc/multipath.conf no_path_retry 60 # no_path_retry fail # no_path_retry queue no_path_retry 60 no_path_retry 60 no_path_retry 60 # no_path_retry 5 # no_path_retry queue As you can see, I had "no_path_retry queue" before and I have since changed it to "no_path_retry 60". The problem is that the value of "queue" somehow sticks: > multipath -ll 3600d02300067d2b107ad9a43303d8200 [size=390 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 1:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ 2:0:0:1 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] 3600d02300067d2f707d12552c2821300 [size=390 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 1:0:1:1 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] \_ 2:0:1:1 sde 8:64 [active][ready] Rebooting does not solve this problem. > dmsetup table www_vg_01-www_lv_01: 0 314572800 linear 9:1 384 3600d02300067d2b107ad9a43303d8200: 0 819200000 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 round-robin 0 2 1 8:16 100 8:48 100 3600d02300067d2f707d12552c2821300: 0 819200000 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 round-robin 0 2 1 8:32 100 8:64 100 I know I can use dmsetup to reset it, but problem is there seems to only two values that can be used with dmsetup: either queue_if_no_path or fail_if_no_path; and the value does not stay across reboot. Anybody can help? Regards, Jie -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
