Yes, it was the same on 18.04 also. The problem is that I don't reach "3. finally once I hit my 60 second limit on the paths (dev_loss_tmo) they are considered dead" . The paths are never removed and stay "running" forever. Maybe it is related to the fact that there is only one HBA active.

I have also checked if this was any different in the past and checked Bionic (thanks Frank for the system). It behaved the same way (i.e. no regression). Unmapping device: Jan 25 05:07:15 hwe0006 kernel: sd 1:0:0:1074151462: [sdc] tag#1877 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE

Bonus for my theory that these timeouts are about the paths going down and not the disks. If I unplug the adapter (= 2 paths) it goes through this: 1. it immediately detects that something is wrong. I/O might still be queued. Jan 25 09:27:52 s1lp5 multipathd[782]: checker failed path 65:32 in

# Argument why (a) isn't a problem: the "paths are never going away" And this is (as seen on the sysfs) on the rports, which are the links between local and remote FC ports. In my case for example two ports on each side doing NxM => 4 rports. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 21 15:51

# Argument why (b) might in fact a problem: "disk should be detected as new, and not mapped onto the old paths/devices" Obviously one could just say "have a static LUN Id plan and don't map back the old LUN, but that is evasive. In a perfect world something in kernel/udev/multipath would

I'm not a 100% sure, but I wondered what "to expect" from dev_loss_tmo. Reading more docs I think it is more like: "I/O is held in flight, since the target might come back" After the timeout I'd assume it will kill the remaining I/O. This makes me think that this bug is about two things: a)
