The value of 1000 is good for bio based multipath. Seen 50% increase in I/O ops by setting it to 1 in request based multipath configuration.

Is it possible to detect request based multipath and change only for those configurations? diff -r e504a50b0db5 -r 91d6dae7d882 libmultipath/defaults.h --- a/libmultipath/defaults.h Wed Jan 19 13:16:40 2011 -0800 +++ b/libmultipath/defaults.h Wed Jan 19 13:29:52 2011 -0800 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ #define DEFAULT_ALIAS_PREFIX "mpath" #define DEFAULT_FEATURES "0" #define DEFAULT_HWHANDLER "0" -#define DEFAULT_MINIO 1000 +#define DEFAULT_MINIO 1 #define DEFAULT_PGPOLICY FAILOVER #define DEFAULT_FAILBACK -FAILBACK_MANUAL #define DEFAULT_RR_WEIGHT RR_WEIGHT_NONE -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
