Hi,

In the TODO file of LVM release 1.0.5.51
the point number 10 mentions about supporting
Multipathing.

Could you please let me know, for what kind of devices is multipathing going to be supported. Is this multiple paths due to multiple disk controllers connected to storage devices or something else.

regards
Aditya Vasudevan

We plan to put no restrictions into LVM2/device-mapper ITR.

In case Linux 'sees' multiple paths to the same storage, we want to be able to support those in LVM2.

This covers all thinkable configurations, no matter if it is multi-controllers which are single-ported or single-controller which is multi-ported or any mixtures of those.
