To me fix doesn't actually appear to work. After upgrading to multipath- tools 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.4on an amd64 trusty and rebooting, the fast_io_fail_tmo and dev_loss_tmo values do not get written to sysfs:
$ grep . /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/*/*_tmo /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-0/dev_loss_tmo:30 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-0/fast_io_fail_tmo:off /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-1/dev_loss_tmo:30 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-1/fast_io_fail_tmo:off /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-0/dev_loss_tmo:30 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-0/fast_io_fail_tmo:off /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-1/dev_loss_tmo:30 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-1/fast_io_fail_tmo:off The device stanza from multipath.conf contains the following: device { vendor "DGC|EMC" product "RAID [0-9]*|VRAID|SYMMETRIX.*" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n" path_selector "round-robin 0" path_checker emc_clariion features "0" hardware_handler "1 emc" prio emc failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry queue rr_min_io 100 fast_io_fail_tmo 3 dev_loss_tmo 2147483647 } FWIW, I can manually set the sysfs settings to the desired values: $ echo 3 | sudo tee /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-*/fast_io_fail_tmo 3 $ echo 2147483647 | sudo tee /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-*/dev_loss_tmo 2147483647 $ grep . /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/*/*_tmo /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-0/dev_loss_tmo:2147483647 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-0/fast_io_fail_tmo:3 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-1/dev_loss_tmo:2147483647 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-2:0-1/fast_io_fail_tmo:3 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-0/dev_loss_tmo:2147483647 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-0/fast_io_fail_tmo:3 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-1/dev_loss_tmo:2147483647 /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-3:0-1/fast_io_fail_tmo:3 Tore -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435706 Title: DevLossTO, FastIoFailTO settings do not match multipath.conf expected values To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1435706/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
