Hello,

I have problem with the linuxrdac dkms module used for our four-node (no
failover) cluster attached to md3000 SAS. all the nodes need accesing
single LUN. the linuxrdac module (09.03.0C06.0030) on two nodes attached
to different controllers tries to rebalance the LUN ownership for the
particular controller. However another node attached to the other
controller does the same and claims the LUN for its controller. This
leeds to neverending loop.

We are running the linuxrdac module with the option
DisableLUNRebalance=3, which should make it working, but seems to do
nothing.

How can be single LUN access from different controllers?

When the issue occurs, the logs are flooded with following messages and
the system stops responding.
