The machine is an HP DL380G5 with an HP smart array P400i raid

it later on. The RAID disk is not available using multiple paths, but
multipath should still list it as one path (IMHO).
With the default blacklist info and the patch checker configured for
LOGICAL VOLUME devices, the callout still fails, because it checks for
/dev/cciss!c0d0 instead of /dev/cciss/c0d0:
You'll later need multipath support with cciss or with something else?
As I wrote, for proper cciss support current multipath git is needed.
This is AFAIK the only hardware that is supported in upstream git but
not in any released version. All the rest (FC, iSCSI) should work well.
I've just uploaded a new version of multipath-tools that blacklists
cciss. I'd be great if you could test if your cciss disks get correctly
blacklisted. In case you desperately need cciss, please file a wishlist
bug to package up current git. I will try to do it soon then - help
appreciated of course.
I won't need cciss support in the near future as I will be connecting FC
disks to the server. I will test the new version of multipath-tools
(with cciss blacklisted), if you give me the location of the .deb. Or
will it enter unstable?
If I still have a spare server with an cciss card when the git version
is packaged, I will help test/debug it.

Rik
