it took more than 50 minutes after system reboot to discover all disks and to build Multipaths correctly. - So for it to take this long, it's going to be a problem. - I have gathered all logs and attaching to the bug for Mauricio to look and confirm. - If there is a workaround or fix for faster probe time then I will try it out. - Below is more information I captured: Checkpoint #1: ============== - system reboot around 2pm (14:00) Checkpoint # 2: =============== - It took several minutes for first disk to be detected. root@smb1p1:~# dmesg -T | grep 'sd 1[78]:' | grep 'Attached
