Subject: Dell MD3000/multipath - huge numbers of I/O errors on boot
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:45:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ABCC970.70603@Calva.COM> (raw)
I've got a Dell MD3000 SAS cabinet, connected with two SAS cables using
multipathd/dm-multipath.
Most things work fine, but one problem I have is that the MD3000 wants
to do failover, it gets very shirty if I access the "ghost" path to a
LUN without doing some RDAC fancyness.
The problem is that when the kernel discovers each LUN it tries to read
the partition table, which produces insane numbers of read failures on
boot. How can I silence them?
