I'm afraid the patch did not work for me. I'ts still the same.
I am using kernel 2.6.22.2 at the moment. Should I upgrade to 2.6.23 ?
Anybody any Ideas?
The system is not in production at the moment. We could do some testing.

The maximum is indeed 600 seconds in 2.6.23.

Matthew Wilcox' patch solved this particular problem for me, yes. I
still had some problems with -EEXIST when unloading and re-inserting the
HBA driver module, though, but that's a corner case I rarely run into
(as well as being easily worked around by trying again).
Come to think of it, you never said which kernel version you're running...?

One suggestion... If the sysfs object is still around, you might be
able to delete it manually by running «echo 1 >
/sys/class/scsi_device/1:0:1:0/device/delete». If that works, you can
try to rescan again by doing «echo 0 1 0 >
/sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan». With some luck it'll work...
If it does, most of the time udev will notice and alert multipath to
check out the new device. Sometimes it doesn't work, though - simply
run the «multipath» command manually in that case.
By the way - the «1» in «host1» maps to the first digit in «1:0:1:0»,
while the «0 1 0» in the echo command to the last three.
