Description Rod Nayfield 2006-02-08 15:45:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

/etc/multipath.conf contains commented-out defaults.  However, these are not the
actual defaults.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
U3 beta

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure default install per http://people.redhat.com/nayfield/storage
2. multipath -ll
  
Actual results:

two priority groups, one path per group
 (aka 'failover')

Expected results:

one priority group, with two paths 
 (aka 'multibus')

Additional info:

either multibus should be used as the default,
-or-
multipath.conf should show that failover is the default

Comment 4 Alasdair Kergon 2006-03-03 17:02:30 UTC 
Yep: Put a comment at the top of the multipath.conf file explaining that these are
just examples.  And pointing the user to multipath.annotated.conf for
instructions and multipath.defaults.conf for the default settings.
Comment 7 Ben Marzinski 2006-04-19 18:57:16 UTC 
Fixed. There is now a note at the top of the config file
