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:
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

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