I have a Dell 2950 running 64-bit RHEL5.1 and am having a problem with multipathd crashing with a segfault. It seems to happen only when selinux is enabled. I quick search turned up a nearly identical bug reported on CentOS:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2746 This causes a problem in that, if a path fails, it's never restored (since that's the job of multipathd). We had a drive failure last night that would have normally cause an 60-90 second outage (while the drive was retried and eventually marked offline by the array) but, since mutlipathd had failed it causes a much longer outage. When I was alerted to the problem I was able to put selinux into permissive mode and get multipathd running again, which restored the paths and things seemed OK after that, but obviously this isn't the way it should work. I pretty sure this problem is "new". This system has been running with it's current configuration for a few months and we've never seen this before. Has anyone else noticed problems with multipathd not running on RHEL5.1 systems with selinux enabled?
