The path group is still marginal. Being marginal simply means that the path group has a lower priority than all the non-marginal path groups. However, if there are no usable paths in any non-marginal path group, then a marginal path group will become the active path group (the path group that the kernel will send IO to). -Ben > Regards, > Muneendra.
