Hi Hertha, Thanks. Noticed that in the rawdevices file, there's column for minor device file name. I heard for each of the /dev/mpath/mpathx, there's actually two corresponding minor devices (/dev/sd...). Yes, 2 /dev/sdx devices are the actual physical path to the SAN while /dev/mpath/mpathx is the logical path with redundancy (ie if one physical path is down, it will use the other path). How do I find out the physical paths for a logical path? Tks U ================================== You don't convert it back, you simply use it as a raw device, but know that part of the raw device will be corrupt as you have overwitten certain blocks with the filesystem's superblocks. To use a partition as a raw device, - add it to /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices e.g., by adding the line /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/mapper/mpath0 - and restart the rawdevices service: service rawdevices restart Kind regards, Herta -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
