From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>
In cases where some path devices are temporarily unavailable (e.g. failover),
high amounts of error messages such as these are seen:
Feb 27 08:02:03 ictm1608s02h1 multipath[1420]: get_udev_device: failed to look up 65:224 with type 1
Feb 27 08:02:03 ictm1608s02h1 multipath[1420]: 3600a098000aada210000f1625de51ed9: discarding non-existing path 65:224
This is because every invocation of "multipath -U" prints these messages
at the default log level (-v2). In the case of "multipath -U", these
messages aren't important, and in failover situations, "multipath -U" is
run pretty often, spamming the log with many similar messages.
Generally reducing the log level of these messages would be wrong,
because they are important for multipathd's operation, to verify that
multipathd does the right thing when discovering a discrepancy between the dm
state and the devices present in the system. Therefore, just decrease the
verbosity with which we invoke "multipath -U" in the udev rules.
