Hello,

I tend to disagree that many Linux installations use a SAN. In my
experience most of the installations don't use a SAN. The few that use a
SAN generally use the vendor's own multipath software (for example
Powerpath) due to contractual/support needs and also feature set and
because of this (vendor tools) you can't put it in LPI.
