Hi, I am trying to configure multipathing on Red hat 4 update 6
64 bit. Below is the list of RPM I have installed rpm -qa | grep
mapper device-mapper-1.02.21-1.el4 device-mapper-1.02.21-1.el4 device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-27.RHEL4 The hardware is Sun x4600 and I am using QLA cards. The
system has two LUNs presented to it of size 10 GB and size 90 GB There is a problem when I configure file system on it. I am
able to access and mount the file system. But when I add those entries in /etc/fstab,
the system would not recognize those devices. Below is the output from multipath command multipath -ll mpath5

you want to blacklist specific devices, you should use ## a wwid
