Christophe, The SCSI Hardware handler is created for devices with special needs. It is available in 2.6.27. One can be written for any device to translate the scsi sense code to a different error code that the dm understands. Is this something that coule help this situation ? Have a look at drivers/scsi/device_handler directory. Hope this helps, chandra On Tue, 2008-10-21 at 23:19 +0200, Christophe Varoqui wrote: > Hi, > > the dm-mpath multipathing driver enqueues write ios returned by > the scsi layer with a "reservation conflict" error (on assymetric > storage controllers, like Clariion, where queue_if_no_path is enabled). > > This is wrong, and a potent data-corrupter : wio sent to a reserved > scsi device should never be retried on this same device. > > Can someone advise on a viable solution for this problem ?
