Hello all, I have a Dell MD3000 attached to an NX1950. It seems the MD3000 is connected through a SAS 5/E card and uses the mptsas driver. My kernel version is 2.6.27. multipath -ll gives me: sdj: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" 360022190009773680000214a495047cedm-5 , [size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# sdd 8:48 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdj 8:144 [failed][faulty] 360022190009773680000000000000000dm-0 , [size=20M][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdg 8:96 [failed][ready] sde: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" 3600221900096f27d00000ab449504839dm-4 , [size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# sdk 8:160 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sde 8:64 [failed][faulty] sdc: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" 3600221900096f27d00000ab3495047fddm-2 , [size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# sdi 8:128 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdc 8:32 [failed][faulty] sdh: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" 360022190009773680000214749504780dm-6 , [size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdh 8:112 [failed][faulty] sdl: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" 360022190009773680000214c49504806dm-3 , [size=1.1T][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# sdf 8:80 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdl 8:176 [failed][faulty] 3600221900096f27d0000000000000000dm-1 , [size=20M][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# sdm 8:192 [failed][ready] How do I configure this to work correctly ? I'm sorry if that is a redundant question, but I googled for about 8 hours now and couldn't find anything conclusive. Also is there a manual/tutorial for this somewhere ?
