** Description changed:

  We're using Q-Logic QLE2562 Fibre Channel adapters (qla2xxx driver)
  against a HPE 3PAR 7400c storage array in an OpenStack environment. The
  OpenStack 3PAR driver manages volume attachments from the array to the
  servers. There is 4 path multipath to every volume.
  
  As the LUNs are removed, sometimes udev does not remove all links,
  particularly in /run/udev/links and /dev/disk/by-path. The symptoms are
  multiple records in one by-path directory under /run/udev/links, broken
  links to no longer attached luns in dev/disk/by-path and links between
  wrong LUNs and scsi devices there.
  
  OpenStack relies on these links. When another volume is attached using a
  LUN that has these leftover links and it happens that it is the first of
  the 4 paths, OpenStack incorrectly identifies the volume and attaches
  the same volume to multiple instances, leading to data loss.
  
  What could be causing this behavior?
+ 
+ Ubuntu version 14.04 
+ Linux version Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68~14.04.1-generic 4.4.24
+ udev 204-5ubuntu20.19
