Or maybe not as 4.6 seems to fix that race. Though I found one change in the ALUA handler post 4.6 which modifies the handling of missing VPD identification (which leads to the "No device descriptors found" message):
commit fe8b9534a0a0356f8a76467e2c561194bdb53c84 Author: Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> Date: Fri May 6 10:34:35 2016 +0200 scsi_dh_alua: do not fail for unknown VPD identification Not every device will return a useable VPD identification, but still might support ALUA. Rather than disable ALUA support we should be allowing the device identification to be empty and attach individual ALUA device handler to each devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588421 Title: linux: 4.6 kernel fails to boot on ppc64el multi-path system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1588421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
