Hello, all. I am running on kernel 2.6.27 on CentOS 5.2 with VServer and device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-17.el5. I have a custom mpath_prio_ssi script which takes the device name (e.g., sdaa), pulls out the path from /etc/disk/by-path and then echos a priority based upon a lookup table. It works perfectly fine from the command line. multipath -ll shows the priorities assigned perfectly and exactly the right paths are active. However, when I start multipathd, it all goes down the tubes. The paths disappear and /var/log/messages is filled with: Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdh Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdi Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdj Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdc Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdd Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sde Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdf Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdg Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdh Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdi Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdj Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdc Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdd Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sde Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdf Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdg Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdh Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdi Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdj Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdk Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdl Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdm Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdn Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdo Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdp Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdq Feb 25 20:50:17 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdr Feb 25 20:50:18 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdk Feb 25 20:50:18 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdl Feb 25 20:50:18 vd01 multipathd: error calling out /usr/local/sbin/mpath_prio_ssi sdm The callout does exist, is executable, and works with multipath.
