All multipath (which I love by the way) means is "here are two (or more) ways to get to the same disk". The fact that multipath support under Linux grew out of the RAID support is what's throwing you. It's configured by editing /etc/raidtab, and using commands whose prefix is "raid". That's it. -----Original Message----- From: Iain Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 10:48 To: Christian, Chip Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multipath?

It appears as a raid-level in one of the sample raid config files distributed with raidtools 0.90, specifically /usr/share/doc/raidtools-0.90/multipath.conf.sample which looks like this: # Sample raid-1 configuration raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level multipath nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb1 raid-disk 1 is multipath isn't RAID is it just another way of saying linear? iain > > -----Original Message----- > From: Iain Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 0:57 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Multipath? > > > Fellow RAIDers: > > What raid level is multipath anyway?? > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
