Generally patches get posted to the list and get pushed to the next
branch once they are acked.

Multipath is the default for all devices that have wwids.  As of now,
there is no plan to change this.  The decision to use multipath for all
devices if possible makes the setup much cleaner and doesn't introduce
any negatives that I see.  It might be possible to make it configurable,
but I don't think that it's trivial to do so.

I haven't noticed any calculation errors recently, though I admit that I
haven't looked that closely recently.  When using multipath, do you see
the same issue?  

Can you provide the ovirt.log file from the install that shows the
incorrect size?

Thanks
