I check code of multipath, it sends messge "reinstate_path pathname" to kernel in routine reinstate_paths when status of pathgroup = "PGSTATE_ENABLED/PGSTATE_UNDEF" and path's state = "PSTATE_FAILED".<o:p></o:p></span></p>

or failed which can't be recovered. Maybe we can check these devices's status by sending io to these sd device at first. according to return of io, multipath send reinstate to running devices and do nothing to failed devices?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
