Yes, active/active is working fine: $ multipath -ll system (30690a018c032d43ece43440c0000d044) [size=18 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 0:0:1:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] that's LUN from Equallogic iSCSI SAN array.. loadbalanced with round-robin. Box is even booted from the SAN :) took some time to create the initrd images to set up multipathing for boot/system volume.. -- Pasi Kärkkäinen ^ . .
