Hi Babu,
As Mike asked, can you provide the kernel version and the multipath
version.
Can you also provide the var/log/messages file from the start (before
you fail the first path) to the finish of your test.
Also, what kind of I/Os are you running.
BTW, if it is mainline code, can you apply the attached patch and see if
you see any better behavior.
regards,
chandra
