Hi folks,

We're building a new storage service and are planning on using multipathd rather than LSI's rdac to handle the multipathing.

It's all working well, but I'm looking at settling on the final parameters for the multipath.conf. In particular, the values for:

 * rr_min_io (1?)
 * failback (I think "manual" or "followover"?)
 * no_path_retry (guessing here - fail?)
 * dev_loss_tmo (guessing here - 15?)
 * fast_io_fail_tmo (guessing here - 10?)

Does anyone have a working multipath.conf for LSI based storage systems (or others, for that matter), and/or have experience and wisdom to share on the above settings (and any others I may have missed?). Any war stories about dm-multipath to share?
