Unfortunately this doesn't mean that the blk-mq multipath code is already working perfectly. Most of the time I/O requests are processed within the expected time but sometimes I/O processing takes much more time than what I expected: # /usr/bin/time -f %e mkfs.xfs -f /dev/dm-0 >/dev/null 0.02 # /usr/bin/time -f %e mkfs.xfs -f /dev/dm-0 >/dev/null 0.02 # /usr/bin/time -f %e mkfs.xfs -f /dev/dm-0 >/dev/null 8.68 However, if I run the same command on the underlying device it always completes within the expected time.
