is causing the vgdisplay hanging issues a lot of times...mpath-* and part1-mapth-* devices are handled in the initial and last stages of this rule file.. What this above line is handling, with out checking for the device existence its waiting and doing kpartx and some times it got stuck in kpartx and later if vgdisplay hangs for the dg handled by the above hanging mulipath device..in RHEL 5u6 we have this line..instead of the above one...PROGRAM=="/sbin/dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o name -j %M -m %m",RESULT=="?*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="mpath/%c", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/mpath_wait /dev/mapper/%c; /sbin/kpartx -a -p p /dev/mapper/%c'"[root@x336-207-55 home]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-multipath.rules# multipath wants the devmaps presented as meaninglful device names# so name them after their devmap nameSUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="end_mpath"KERNEL!="dm-[0-9]*", GOTO="end_mpath"PROGRAM!="/sbin/mpath_wait %M %m", GOTO="end_mpath"PROGRAM!="/sbin/dmsetup info -c --noheadings -j %M -m %m", GOTO="end_mpath"RESULT!="*:*:*:*:*:*:*:mpath-*", GOTO="kpartx_check"PROGRAM!="/sbin/dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o name -j %M -m %m", GOTO="end_mpath"RESULT!="?*", GOTO="end_mpath"NAME="%k", SYMLINK="mpath/%c"ACTION!="change", GOTO="skip_kpartx"RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/mpath_wait /dev/mapper/%c; /sbin/kpartx -a -p p /dev/mapper/%c'"LABEL="skip_kpartx"OPTIONS="last_rule"LABEL="kpartx_check"RESULT!="*:*:*:*:*:*:*:part*-mpath-*", GOTO="end_mpath"PROGRAM=="/sbin/dmsetup info -c --noheadings -o name -j %M -m %m", RESULT=="?*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="mpath/%c"OPTIONS="last_rule"LABEL="end_mpath"So removing the line is not causing any big issues ...RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/mpath_wait /dev/mapper/%c; /sbin/kpartx -a -p p /dev/mapper/%c'"
