[dm-devel] order of preference / multipath.conf

I found this in an old thread and want to confirm as it will influence
how/what we include in multipath.conf

 

Is the following order of preference accurate? 

 
1) Multipaths section (in /etc/multipath.conf)
2) Device section   (in /etc/multipath.conf)
3) Defaults section (in /etc/multipath.conf)
4) Internal default (hwtable.c)
 
If so; then inclusions in the default section; such as setting multibus
as the path grouping policy; would adversely affect any active / passive
array definitions in hwtable.c. 
 
There really should be more guidance concerning these matters. Is this
documented somewhere?
 

Thanks,

Paul
