Hi Jorick, This error is most often caused by multipath attempting to map a device which is already in use, such as if its mounted or mapped by an active LVM logical volume. If the blacklist in /etc/multipath.conf does not restrict multipath from mapping the device, then when it gets run during boot it will attempt to map it. Because the device is in use, this mapping will fail.
Have you tried the blacklisting procedure mentioned at comment 3 in the bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675366#c3 ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jorick Astrego" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, September 8, 2014 12:40:20 PM > Subject: [ovirt-users] multipath: error getting device > > Hi, > > I'm seeing a continuous stream of multipath errors on my Centos 7 hosts with > ovirt 3.5 rc1.1. > > Can't find a bug for it except > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675366 > > > > Sep 8 11:34:13 host1 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:3: multipath: error > getting device > Sep 8 11:34:13 host1 kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to > table > Sep 8 11:34:13 host1 multipathd: dm-3: remove map (uevent) > Sep 8 11:34:13 host1 multipathd: dm-3: remove map (uevent) > Sep 8 11:34:23 host1 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:3: multipath: error > getting device > Sep 8 11:34:23 host1 kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to > table > Sep 8 11:34:23 host1 multipathd: dm-3: remove map (uevent) > Sep 8 11:34:23 host1 multipathd: dm-3: remove map (uevent) > Sep 8 11:34:33 host1 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:3: multipath: error > getting device > Sep 8 11:34:33 host1 kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to > table > We don't use multipath, but it's a bit annoying as it's filling up the > console and logs..... > > Kind regards, > > Jorick Astrego > Netbulae B.V. > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
