Thanks Ben, I think we should also remove the reference from
multipath/multipath.conf.redhat as this is the default /etc/multipath.conf on
Red Hat systems and users blindly un-commenting the example may create problems
(e.g. boot from SAN fails) - patch attached.

#defaults {
#	udev_dir		/dev
#	polling_interval 	10
#	selector		"round-robin 0"
#	path_grouping_policy	multibus
#	getuid_callout		"/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
#	prio_callout		/bin/true
#	path_checker		readsector0
#	rr_min_io		100
#	max_fds			8192
#	rr_weight		priorities
#	failback		immediate
#	no_path_retry		fail
#	user_friendly_names	yes
#}

Regards,
Bryn.
