I have run into a situation were a path (sdag) to LUN 15 with a scsi serial number of ending with 0xd5190010 was added to an mapth (mpathiw) which is for LUN 11 with scsi serial number ending with 0xd5190026 (sdz and sdw) I would appreciate any help understanding how/why this happened. Initiator Info: Linux il-ksm3-044 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 device-mapper-multipath version 0.4.9 multipath.conf: defaults { user_friendly_names yes polling_interval 10 verbosity 2 } devices { device { vendor "KMNRIO" product "K2" path_grouping_policy multibus getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n" path_checker tur path_selector "queue-length 0" no_path_retry fail hardware_handler "0" rr_weight priorities rr_min_io 1 failback 15 fast_io_fail_tmo 5 dev_loss_tmo 8 } } Since I see that sdz and sdw used to belong to mapthiv (was it renamed to mathiw?) This might be useful info - in the bindings file I see: ... mpathiv 20024f400d5190010 <---------------------------------------- this is the scsi_sn of sdag mpathiw 20024f400d5190026 <---------------------------------------- this is the scsi_sn of sdz/w ... I am adding the relevant host logs (I can add the full logs if needed) - error is in the last log line: <pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_6">Mar 14 09:44:36 il-ksm3-044 kernel: sdag: detected capacity change from 0 to 322122547200 Mar 14 09:59:35 il-ksm3-044 kernel: sd 8:0:1:15: [sdag] Warning!
