Hello list,
This is my first real experience with device mapper and multipath-tools.
I have several luns exported on an IBM 3400 to one host.
I have several problems when I unmap a lun:
1) If I don't remove the multipath (before I unmap) I can not remove (by
force too) the multipath for that lun. (Note the lun is not mounted.)
2) Removing the multipath and then unmapping the lun works, but then
doing a rescan of the bus **sometimes** gives me a new lun with name '1'.
Case 1:
-------
multipath -l

I now remove mapping through the storage software.

Sorry couldn't reproduce at the moment...
I'm running

Thanks!
