I apologize for coming back to this after more than a year.
I've been wondering about your dev_loss recommendation.

What is the rationale for setting dev_loss and fast_io_fail to the same
value, which is straight against the general recommendation? And what
is the reason for the aggressively low dev_loss value anyway? Device
loss and re-discovery is much more complex to handle for both the
kernel and multipathd than failure/reinstantiation. You are the only
vendor who recommends setting dev_loss less than the default of 600s. 

Could you share your reasoning please?

Regards,
Martin
