** Description changed: + [Impact] + Users of multipath-tools on systems which exhibit both multipathed and non-multipathed drives or some USB devices (some USB devices may still be picked up by multipath-tools if multipath-capable). + + [Test case] + - Boot on a system with multipathed disks with the previous version of multipath-tools + - Upgrade to the new version; verify that /etc/multipath/wwids is created and contains all the right device WWIDs, and that 'sudo multipath -ll' has the same devices. + - Reboot and verify that the system still boots correctly. + + After rebooting, you should verify that /proc/mounts correctly lists the + multipath device (/dev/mapper/*), and that /proc/swaps also lists any + swap partitions that should be on a multipathed disk as a /dev/dm-* + device. + + [Regression potential] + Systems in complex setups mixing both multipathed and non-multipathed disks, or with particularly slow disk controllers may fail to boot or show delays in booting. Systems requiring a particular set of partitions to be available in early boot (past the typical installs on /, some may require /usr to be available for some daemons to load on boot) could fail to properly start up all the software on boot; these should be considered as regressions only if devices do not properly show up in 'sudo multipath -ll' output. + + Users seeing issues should preferrably include the output of 'sudo + multipath -v4' to bug reports to help developers in debugging. + + --- + + Problem Description ====================== non-multpath disks are classified as multipath after the multipath-tools package is installed. ---uname output--- Linux uu04g1 3.16.0-21-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 6 15:57:32 UTC 2014 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux - - Machine Type = Tuleta pKVM guest - + + Machine Type = Tuleta pKVM guest + Steps to Reproduce ========================= - 1) Create a guest with an unused, non-mpath disk (not the install disk) (a qemu img file is fine). - 2) apt-get install multipath-tools. - 3) multipath -ll. + 1) Create a guest with an unused, non-mpath disk (not the install disk) (a qemu img file is fine). + 2) apt-get install multipath-tools. + 3) multipath -ll. 4) Note that your file backed disks are showing up as mpath disks. - - Userspace tool common name: multipath - The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64 - + Userspace tool common name: multipath + The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64 + System Dump Info: - The system is not configured to capture a system dump. + The system is not configured to capture a system dump. - Userspace rpm: multipath-tools - Userspace tool obtained from project website: multipath-tools v0.4.9 (05/33, 2016) - + Userspace rpm: multipath-tools + Userspace tool obtained from project website: multipath-tools v0.4.9 (05/33, 2016) == Comment: #1 - Edward R.
