Subject: [BUG] dm-mpath and scsi persistent reservation
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:19:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081021231910.0fdbeb75@plop> (raw)
Hi,
the dm-mpath multipathing driver enqueues write ios returned by
the scsi layer with a "reservation conflict" error (on assymetric
storage controllers, like Clariion, where queue_if_no_path is enabled).
This is wrong, and a potent data-corrupter : wio sent to a reserved
scsi device should never be retried on this same device.
Can someone advise on a viable solution for this problem ? I
understand the Device Mapper being a block remapper, it is not expected
to receive scsi errors directly ... but maybe some kind of translation
might be acceptable. Or is there hope in the request-based remapper ?
Jens, James, Alasdair, ... as maintainers of the involved subsystems,
would you care to give some advise on the issue.
Regards,
cvaroqui
