Hi Experts, I am trying to find a way to path failover using device mapper. I have configured /etc/multipath.conf and other instructions as given in http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_51_7170.shtm. I can see multipath -ll output which shows two entries corresponding to two path connected to system. e.g \_ round-robin 0 [enabled] \_ 4:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] \_ 3:0:0:0 sdg 8:96 [active][ready] ls -l /dev/dm-* shows brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 0 Feb 23 03:11 /dev/dm-0 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 1 Feb 23 03:11 /dev/dm-1 I have 7 partitions on /dev/sdc and want to mount a particular device /dev/sdc7. How should I do it. I want to mount the sdc7 , then in between of I/O activity I will close the port so that I/O will direct to other port. I dont want to use mdadm , so any other way to create group of device ? I have many more questions , like 1) What /dev/dm-# indicates. 2) What kpartx does I searched the mail archive but not able to find suitable. Thanks for your time.
