If I run 'multipathd -k' and then help, these are the commands that are listed: list|show paths list|show maps add path $path remove|del path $path add map $map remove|del map $map switch|switchgroup map $map group $group dump pathvec reconfigure disablequeueing map $map restorequeueing map $map Where are the 'reinstate path' or 'fail path' directives you mention in this thread? In case this is a version issue, we are running with version device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-30.el5_4.4. What version are you running where the 'reinstate path' or 'fail path' directives are listed in help or otherwise function? -Scott
