Alright I got md/multipath to failover with 2 emulex hba's on red hat advanced server 2.1 kernel version 2.4.9-27enterprise. My next new problem is that it took five minutes to fail over from when I yanked one of the fibre channel cables. Where could this timeout come from? I have tried several times but each time it takes 5 minutes to failover. Also it won't failback. Any ideas out there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
