after a fresh, multipath -F and start of multipathd with -v 2 I see the
following messages.
After starting multipathd I mounted /dev/mapper/vol1 and generated some
simple I/O to it using dd
Aug 13 16:23:14.888 localhost kernel: device-mapper: multipath: Failing path
8:208.
Aug 13 16:23:14.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: mark as failed
Aug 13 16:23:16.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: reinstated
Aug 13 16:23:30.462 localhost kernel: device-mapper: multipath: Failing path
8:208.
Aug 13 16:23:30.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: mark as failed
Aug 13 16:23:39.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: reinstated

Aug 13 16:23:59.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: reinstated
Aug 13 16:24:06.465 localhost kernel: device-mapper: multipath: Failing path
8:208.
Aug 13 16:24:06.000 localhost multipathd: 8:208: mark as failed
