Is this an error in man multipath.conf then (it mentions rdac in path_checker section)? Anyway I've updated multipath-tools on ubuntu and this fixed initial issue, but now I experience different problem with multipath. For unknown reasons multipath does not automagically create partitions on Gentoo system, although everything works if I run `kpartx -a /dev/dm-0` manually. Could you help me to investigate this issue? I've upgraded multipath tools to the current git with no Gentoo patches applied, udev to 164, and lvm2 to 2.02.84 but still multipath even without configuration file (defaults) creates only following devices: # ls -l /dev/mapper/360080e50001baa46000025834d501798* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 12 17:01 /dev/mapper/360080e50001baa46000025834d501798 -> ../dm-0 # ls -l /dev/dm* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 Feb 12 17:01 /dev/dm-0 and after # kpartx -a /dev/dm-0 partition appear: # ls -l /dev/mapper/360080e50001baa46000025834d501798* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 12 17:01 /dev/mapper/360080e50001baa46000025834d501798 -> ../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 12 17:03 /dev/mapper/360080e50001baa46000025834d501798p1 -> ../dm-1 This can be problem in my kernel configuration but I've compared with ubuntu config and failed to find any evident differences. Could you suggest how to debug this? Have a nice weekend, -- Peter. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
