Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.4.8+git0.761c66f-7
Severity: normal


doing repeated "switch multipath group" commands leaves a multipath in
a strange state with both paths "enabled".

   multipathd> show multipath 35000c50012b1450f topology
   35000c50012b1450f dm-25 SEAGATE,ST373455SS
   size=68G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
   |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active
   | `- 3:0:24:0 sdy  65:128 active ready running
   `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled
     `- 4:0:24:0 sdbc 67:96  active ready running

Ok, all I/O is going to /dev/sdy, the "active" path.

   multipathd> switch multipath 35000c50012b1450f group 2
   ok

Now I/O is going to  /dev/sdbc, but:

   multipathd> show multipath 35000c50012b1450f topology
   35000c50012b1450f dm-25 SEAGATE,ST373455SS
   size=68G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
   |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled
   | `- 3:0:24:0 sdy  65:128 active ready running
   `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled
     `- 4:0:24:0 sdbc 67:96  active ready running

Both paths are shown enabled.  Which is active?

multipath gets it right:

   # multipath -l 35000c50012b1450f
   35000c50012b1450f dm-25 SEAGATE,ST373455SS
   size=68G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
   |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
   | `- 3:0:24:0 sdy  65:128 active undef running
   `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
     `- 4:0:24:0 sdbc 67:96  active undef running

Thanks for thr response. I'll close this bug for now under the
assumption that this has probably been fixed upstream in the
meantime.

Cheers,
