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
I've added documentation for the -T option to the man page.
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
