SCSI multi pathing

SCSI multi pathing

[Johnnie Peters]

Hi All,

I am interesting in doing multipathing for Fibre channel.  I have find the
multipath project from IBM interesting.  It does not seem to be included in
the 2.6-test1 kernel and the patches on their web site are pretty outdated
now.

Is there any plans to include this in 2.6 or to keep the patches updated?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Johnnie

I have updated patches I plan on posting real soon now, I have it ported
and running with 2.5.74 using qlogic adapters (lastly I used the feral
driver).

There is still much todo. 

I would like to push it for inclusion in 2.7.

Hopefully we will have some good discussions at OLS next week, there is a
multi-path BOF, SCSI BOF, and a presentation on the scsi mid-level
multi-path.
