<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="MS Sans Serif"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"MS Sans Serif"'>We can set <b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>“no_path_retry”</span></b> to “fail” or “queue”
or <num> from /etc/multipath.conf file. But we can’t set any in-code
default value as we do for other variables in setup_default_hwtable(..) in
libmultipath/hwtable.c, rather <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>“features”
</span></b>parameter has to be set to either NULL or “1 queue_if_no_path”.
Also the value is applied to DM devices only when the no_path_retry is
configured via <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>defaults </span></b>section in
/etc/multipath.conf file. There is no change in DM device map properties if <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>“no_path_retry”</span></b> is configured
elsewhere other than default section. Do I need to submit a bugzilla for
this?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
