Fixed In Version: sos-2.2-30.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Previous versions of multipath stored path binding data directly in either /etc or the /var/lib directories. Recent versions have moved this to the subdirectory /etc/multipath to allow more consistent SELinux labelling of multipath files. Consequence: Previous versions of sos did not capture the files now stored in this location. Fix: The devicemapper module has been extended to also include the /etc/multipath directory contents. Result: Full bindings data is now captured on hosts using the new directory layout.

Description Bryn M. Reeves 2012-04-27 16:42:29 UTC
Description of problem:
The /etc/multipath directory has been made the official blessed home of the bindings file (and possibly other multipath-specific configuration in the future).

Sos should be collecting the whole thing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-2.2-*

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. grep -r '\/etc\/multipath' /usr/lib/python-*/site-packages/sos
  
Actual results:
        self.addCopySpec("/etc/multipath.conf")

Expected results:
        self.addCopySpec("/etc/multipath.conf")
        self.addCopySpec("/etc/multipath/")

Additional info:
Also needs fixing upstream.
