The multipath code is simple and seems pretty stable to me. There is one issue, in that failover can sometimes take a long time because of the SCSI layer's insistence upon executing error recovery. In the case of multipath I/O's, there is no need to error recover before processing the I/O. Instead, once error is detected, failover, then start error recovery. The SCSI layer doesn't do this currently, so failover times are high.
