Because EMC is very forthcoming about supporting the proper way of doing
multipathing on Linux in 2.6 (based on the Open Source Device-Mapper
multipath functionality + the multipath-tools package) and actively
supporting me developing that feature by providing technical specs and
hardware, I don't really see a need for using Power Path any longer on
2.6 platforms.
I could understand that they may want to provide it for legacy
installations who want to slowly transition though, but they've not
mentioned it yet; personally I'd think it would be kind of pointless
;-)
