Blacklist the wwwid in multipath.conf and/or blacklist the disk type in multipath. And/or whitelist the disks you want multipath to manage. If all of your disks have 2 paths and are expected to have 2 paths then you can set file_multipaths to only manage devices with 2 paths, but to make multipat

Dear George and Edd, Thanks for all the suggestions, I've been reading them, but only now I got around to installing version 6.3 of BRLTTY. I installed every rpm eccept the source, cause, and brlapi. I kind of think I do need brlapi, but when i try to install it with the rpm -i command as s

Dear Ed, I found another way, really randomly: I just needed to add myself to the groups brlapi and brltty, which i did already, but didn't work, but now it does, maybe because i added myself to brltty as well, thanks for everything. Best regards. Francisco. On 3/3/21 2:57 PM, Ed Greshko
