[Bug 1904920] Re: multipathd gets started by default on VM instances
Hi and thanks for chiming in. I probably underestimated how often multipath is used in VMs, but I still think that the vast majority of the cloud instances out there have no use for it. However I see your point, what we need is to enable socket based activation for multipathd, as Rafael proposed. I'm retitling this bug accordingly. ** Summary changed: - multipathd gets started by default on VM instances + multipathd should switch to socket-based activation ** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1904920 Title: multipathd should switch to socket-based activation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1904920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1904920] Re: multipathd gets started by default on VM instances
Just a quick reminder.. we already made open-iscsi socket oriented and that is also to be done with multipath-tools (I think I've done last 2 merges for both). I did not want to go for a full review on multipath- tools this last cycle (but did for open-iscsi). FYIO. The !container is because multipath tools talk with systemd-udev and that is only supported in the host (just like iscsid does). That is why there might be a condition not to start on container systems, just because the container might not be able to control udev/dm within kernel (but, again, that was for me to do this cycle... will have to do next one, after my current assignment, or someone else can do it). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1904920 Title: multipathd gets started by default on VM instances To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1904920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

vms can certainly use multipath devices; why would we want to disable it? is this only to speed up boot slightly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1904920 Title: multipathd gets started by default on VM instances To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1904920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
