After a system crash I have filesystem access problems when the multipathd service is started. I noticed in the messages file and in output from multipath -ll that an alias is not being used: messages: [...] rename 350002ac002c506cc to mpath18 # multipath -ll [...] 350002ac002c506cc dm-12 3PARdata,VV # ls -1 /dev/mpath/ 350002ac002c506cc mpath10 [...] The bindings file has: [...] mpath18 350002ac002c506cc Can the apparent failure of the alias-to-WWID mapping cause any problems?
