Are there zero valid use cases for using multipath without multipathd? On production systems, I agree, multipathd should always be running. Personally wouldn't want to see this warning every time I run "multipath" while multipathd is (temporarily) disabled. Have you got user requests for this feature? In particular, I dislike the idea of putting this code into libmultipath. I would love to get rid of the "is_daemon" logic some day. If at all, the detection of the situation and the warning should be implemented in multipath, IMO. The message should be prefixed with the word "Warning: " to make sure the admin understands that he's supposed to take action.
