RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description masanari iida 2016-03-17 09:48:18 UTC
Description of problem:
Current man page for multipath(8) doesn't include "-T" option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-85.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man multipath

Actual results:
"-T" not documented.

Additional info:

[root@localhost ~]# multipath -h
multipath-tools v0.4.9 (05/33, 2016)

(snip)

  -T tm:val
          check if tm matches the multipathd timestamp. If so val is
          whether or not the device is a path in a multipath device

Comment 2 Ben Marzinski 2016-04-20 18:07:49 UTC
I've added documentation for the -T option to the man page.

Comment 3 Lin Li 2016-04-22 14:32:18 UTC
Reproduced on device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-85.el7.x86_64 
[root@storageqe-54 ~]# man multipath
"-T" not documented.
[root@storageqe-54 ~]# multipath -h
  -T tm:val
          check if tm matches the multipathd timestamp. If so val is
          whether or not the device is a path in a multipath device



Verified on device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-89.el7
[root@storageqe-54 ~]# man multipath
      -T tm:valid
              check if tm matches the multipathd configuration timestamp value
              from /run/multipathd/timestamp If so, return success if valid is
              1. Otherwise, return failure. If  the  timestamp  doesn't  match
              continue  with  multipath execution.  This option is designed to
              be used with -c by the udev rules.
[root@storageqe-54 ~]# multipath -h
  -T tm:val
          check if tm matches the multipathd timestamp. If so val is
          whether or not the device is a path in a multipath device
