[PATCH] multipath-tools: clarify no_path_retry in multipath.conf.5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



no_path_retry    Specify what to do when all paths are down. Possible values are:

    value > 0   number of retries until disable I/O queueing.

    fail        for immediate failure (no I/O queueing).

    queue       for never stop I/O queueing. Similar to queue_if_no_path.

    See KNOWN ISSUES.

    Default value is: fail
