[dm-devel] Dm error: reload ioctl failed

[Yanqing_Liu at Dell.com]

Hi,

In testing with dm-rdac, I found that multipathing device cannot be
properly craeted. The kernel version is 2.6.27-rc7 (SLES11 beta2
kernel), multipathing tool version is 2.4.8-21.1. 

Theie is error message "ibdevmapper: ioctl/libdm-iface.c(1691):
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument".

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
