Hello guys, I am trying to modify /etc/multipath.conf on my system so that the parameter 'dev_loss_tmo' is changed from the default value. My multipath.conf file contains the following: defaults { verbosity 2 polling_interval 5 max_polling_interval 10 multipath_dir "/lib64/multipath" path_selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy "failover" uid_attribute "ID_SERIAL" prio "const" prio_args "" features "0" path_checker "directio" alias_prefix "mpath" failback "manual" rr_min_io 1000 rr_min_io_rq 1 max_fds "max" rr_weight "uniform" no_path_retry "fail" queue_without_daemon "no" checker_timeout 15 flush_on_last_del "no" user_friendly_names "yes" fast_io_fail_tmo 5 dev_loss_tmo 10 bindings_file "/etc/multipath/bindings" wwids_file /etc/multipath/wwids log_checker_err always retain_attached_hw_handler no detect_prio no } However, when checking the value currently in use I am getting the wrong value (which is '30') for some of the remote ports: for f in /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-*/dev_loss_tmo; do d=$(dirname $f); echo $(basename $d):$(cat $d/node_name):$(cat $f); done rport-3:0-0:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-3:0-1:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-3:0-2:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-3:0-3:0x5000097408369800:30 rport-3:0-4:0x500009757804cbff:30 rport-4:0-0:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-4:0-1:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-4:0-2:0x5000097408369800:30 rport-4:0-3:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-4:0-4:0x500009757804cbff:30 rport-5:0-0:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-5:0-1:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-5:0-2:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-5:0-3:0x5000097408369800:30 rport-5:0-4:0x500009757804cbff:30 rport-6:0-0:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-6:0-1:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-6:0-2:0x5000097408369800:30 rport-6:0-3:0x5742b0f00007c500:10 rport-6:0-4:0x500009757804cbff:30 systool is giving me the same information: systool -c fc_remote_ports -v | grep dev_loss_tmo dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "10" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "30" dev_loss_tmo = "30" Where is this value coming from? May this be a bug? I couldn't find anything useful on the Internet regarding this. I am using the following versions: rpm -qa multipath-tools multipath-tools-0.4.9-109.1 uname -a Linux mysystem 3.0.101-63-default #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 16:02:31 UTC 2015 (4b89d0c) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks for your help!
