Hi Benjamin,
I have a small issue with setting the uid/gid/mode with multipath tools.
I have the following in my /etc/mulitpath.conf file
------------------
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 3600a0b800011a1ee00003f834a3f7a65
alias dev4
mode 0666
uid 1001
gid 1001
}
}
-------------------
After adding this, I do a "multipath -F" following by "multipath" (or
multipath -F followed by /etc/init.d/multipathd restart), I see the
attributes are set properly on the device.
I reboot the system, the device is created (under /dev/mapper) but
attributes are not set as defined in the multipath.conf file.
Have you seen this issue ?
I am using RHEL 5.3 ga version (kernel and tools).
I am not booting from a multipath device (IOW, there is no
multipath.conf in initrd).
Thanks,
chandra
