Not sure where this should go so cross posting:

CentOS 5.6 with kernel 2.6.37.6 and
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-42.el5_6.2.

When I run multipath -v9 -d I get:


I think you need to post to the dm devel list. I do not see any iscsi
issues in there.


The only reason why I thought of posting here Mike was due to the error:

readlink("/sys/block/sdg/device", "../../../6:0:0:16"..., 256) = 17
lstat("/6:0:0:16", 0x7fff04d304c0)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I presume Open-iSCSI does not create those files does it ?

What probably happened is a race where multipath is finding the device but the kernel has not created all the links yet. Multipath assumes there will be the device symlink but the kernel is still setting it up (the setup/creation of all the dirs and files and symlinks is not atomic). multipathd then does not handle this gracefully and dies. I do not know for sure. It is just a guess.
