[opensuse-security] multipath-tools SLES10: where is that src.rpm?
we observer spurious path failures, and suspect a timeout problem with multipathd on SLES10, multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.23 now, I'd like to instrument that multipath thing, i.e. add additional log statements in approptiate locations. unfortunately I am not able to locate the multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.23.src.rpm (the download link on the - arguably cumbersome to navigate - novell site links to some 0.4.6 src.rpm, maybe I'm just to blind to navigate that site properly) to not compare apples with oranges, I'd really like to nail down the problem in the exact version we use here, otherwise I could just "upgrade" to upstream 0.4.8. but this is SLES10, not gentoo, so... please, anyone who knows, where can I find the multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.23.src.rpm? thanks, -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-55 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

Is this SLES10 or SLES10SP1 we're speaking of? If SLES10, there should be a source-package on your SLES10 DVD (not the CD-ISO, only on the DVD image). In SLES10SP1 the source is extra, meanings you would have to download the image separate from Novell. I haven't looked if on SLES10 multipath is in the right Version, but I am downloading the source for SLES10 right now (thoug it will take about 8 Hours or so). I let you know as soon as I know more. Till then, Ortwin

this is a regularly "online updated" SLES10. the originally supplied multipath-tools version was 0.4.6, for which also the sources are available.

yes please. meanwhile, I think I can prove that the SLES10 multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.23 includes upstream [*] up to commit 57adc6a5d562eb1a309655f1b1be1040f0f9f732 but aparently not 8a9de22b049f332a574eead7fa738678397f47fc which means that the directio checker aparently reports path-down when io stalles for "only" 2 seconds, which may well happen on a busy device. btw, the 0.4.7-80 package available from opensuse 10.3 repo _does_ include the later commit (and some more). please, could someone from suse confirm? (hopefully this is still the correct list for this, for me, security includes all things affecting stability as well. also, the affected package aparently was a recommended (if not security) update for sles) [*] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/multipath-tools -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-55 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
Hello Lars, sorry for the delay, had some trouble downloading the ISO. Unfortunately, at least the ISO fo i386 sources (I wounder why there are different sources for i386 and x86_64, but as they even differ in size there mus be a difference) has multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.18.src.rpm May be there is 0.4.7-34.23 on x86_64 sources, but that could take some time to be donwloaded. Anyway, if you think it would be of any use I can send you the 0.4.7.34-18 src.rpm. Till then, Ortwin Lars Ellenberg wrote:

yes, that could help in proving the point, but meanwhile I just installed the multipath-tools 0.4.7-80 (and kpartx) from opensuse 10.3, and did some adjustments (namely, ln -s /sbin/scsi_id /lib/udev/scsi_id). which solved our stability problem here. as is obvious from the previously mentioned upstream commits, this has an effective timeout on the directio checker of 30 seconds, as opposed to 2 seconds in the SLES10 0.4.7-34.23. cheers, -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-55 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
Just checked multipath on x86_64 source ISO; it is identical to that from i386. May be you could get the newest version by installing the source rpm and updating it; I have no idea if it is possible to update src.rpm with zen, but it could be worth a try. Till then, Ortwin Ortwin Ebhardt wrote:
