Hi!

Yes, I've added that section, and still I get these:

So it does not work ok :(

So far I've tried:

1. defaults with initiators set to "Linux"
   one path constantly failed
2. AVT with initiators set to "Solaris (with Veritas DMP or other)"
   multipath flopping constantly - every 20 minutes there is enter in
   main log about path failing
3. RDAC with initiators set to "Linux"
   logs filled with messages like these show up in the message,
   constantly flip/flopping

I haven't patch scsi_dh_rdac because I don't know how to add support
for "SUN"/"LCSM100_S", and although I could figure it out, I'm not
really a fan of compiling the kernel if it is not absolutely necessary.
