Hi Brian, I responded to your other email before I saw this one, but I wanted to see if I could help, here, too.

It is queried from VPD page 0x80, via the function get_serial, whereas the wwid is obtained from VPD page 0x83, through the function get_uid(). The pp->wwid attribute ultimately is what it compares to determine the multipath device. Perhaps when you do this, we should check what the device reports as the wwid in inquiry page 0x83? If you have sg3_utils on your system, you can do that through sg_vpd -p 0x83 <device>. I'd be interested in knowing if the page 0x83 and the serial in 0x80 are disagreeing at the time it's being queried by multipathd..
