hi:
    I have  some problems about multipath for EMC CX700,the EMC checker indicated "SG_INFO_OK_MASK".but there is no kernel info indicated that the status, driver status or host status was failed.And next checker will up the path immediately.So i think there should be a  "retry" checker to insure the path is really down.


The  message:

I don`t think my modification is good enough,so i hope you can give me some useful ideas to make it better.
