It does.

Here's the output of /sbin/scsi_id -v -g -u -s /block/sda

(I found I had to alter scsi_id.config, to put in the Vendor and Model)

set_options: option 'g'
set_options: option 'u'
set_options: option 's' arg '/block/sda'
scsi_id: target_path /sys/block/sda
scsi_id: class_dev 0x0x8a484b8; class_dev_parent 0x(nil)
create_tmp_dev: (/sys/block/sda)
sysfs_get_attr: /sys/block/sda/dev
get_major_minor: dev value 8:0
create_tmp_dev: tmpdev '/dev/tmp-scsi-maj8-min0-7108'
sysfs_get_attr:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:06:00.0/0000:07:01.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/vendor
sysfs_get_attr:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:06:00.0/0000:07:01.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/model
get_file_options: vendor='Raidtec

get_file_options: config file line 28: vendor '(null)'; model

get_file_options: no match
get_file_options: config file line 33: vendor 'Raidtec'; model 'JEFF';
options '-g'
get_file_options: matched vendor/model
per_dev_options: option 'g'
scsi_id: per dev options: good 1; page code 0x0; callout ''
scsi_id: buffer unaligned 0x0x8a48808; aligned 0x0x8a48a00

scsi_inquiry: 0:0:0:0 evpd 1, page 0x0
scsi_get_serial: 0:0:0:0: Checking page0

I still get the same error message when starting multipathd, even with
the change to scsi_id.config
