Hi, I encountered an issue that devmapper disappeared while the multipathd dameon was restarted. Digging into the root cause of preceding issue, I found storage path failure while restarting the multipathd daemon. It seems unreasonable, because the storage path may recover in the future. When using multipath-tools to create device mapper, I configured “blacklist section” and “blacklist exception section”, which meets my requirement that only a small part of SCSI disk can be used underneath a device mapper. After restarting the multipathd daemon, the device mapper of path failure disappears and it won’t comeback even the storage paths recover. So the file system on that devmapper can’t be available. I wonder that if there is a solution that a device mapper of path failure can come back to active even I restart the multipathd daemon? If such a solution exists, it will be marvelous If not, I propose a userland interface to add blacklist exception dynamically. After the blacklist exception is added to “conf”, “multipathd add map $map” and “multipathd add path” can be used to add new map and path. In a nutshell, we can dynamically add elist, map and paths respectively. And multipathd damon is not necessary to restart due to preceding solution.
Any experts of DM have any comments on my solution and the issue I faced with? Your reply is very important to me. Thanks. BR.
