Hi Martin, I have removed multipathd_query in my test script. And a flock is added before/after reonfigure() and iscsi login/out. Sequence of events: (1)iscsi log out /dev/sdi(36001405b7679bd96b094bccbf971bc90) is removed. multipath -r: sdi->fd is closed. ref of sdi becomes 0. (2)iscsi log in /dev/sdi(3600140531f063b3e19349bc82028e0cc) is added. (3)multipath -r: /dev/sdi is discovered but added to 36001405b7679bd96b094bccbf971bc90. This is very confusing. The reason I can think of is that get_uid() in pathinfo() gets the wrong wwid. What do you think of this phenomenon?
