Hello Jens, Sorry that I hadn't been more clear but the __bt_get() data in the previous e-mail was gathered when multipathd started instead of when mkfs was started. That was the time at which Mike's debug patch reported for the first time that __bt_get() returned -1. What is also remarkable is that all "__bt_get() returned -1" reports that I checked referred to the /dev/dm-0 device and none to any of the underlying devices (/dev/sd[cd]). The tag state after having stopped multipathd (systemctl stop multipathd) is as follows: # dmsetup table /dev/dm-0 0 256000 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path pg_init_retries 50 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:48 1 1 8:32 1 1 # ls -l /dev/sd[cd] brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 12 17:47 /dev/sdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Jan 12 17:47 /dev/sdd # for d in sdc sdd dm-0; do echo ==== $d; (cd /sys/block/$d/mq && find|cut -c3-|grep active|xargs grep -aH ''); done ==== sdc 0/active:10 1/active:14 2/active:7 3/active:13 4/active:6 5/active:10 ==== sdd 0/active:17 1/active:8 2/active:9 3/active:13 4/active:5 5/active:10 ==== dm-0 -bash: cd: /sys/block/dm-0/mq: No such file or directory Bart. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
