You will see "features=1 queue_if_no_path" if you have one of the following entry in your multipath.conf. 1. Features "1 queue_if_no_path" Or 2. no_path_retry 5 The first option will queue the i/o forever. The second option will queue the i/o only for 5 polling intervals. But, queue_if_no_path will show up as enabled if one of the above is true. Try "no_path_retry fail" then you will not see this feature in your multipath.conf.
