1401769 – "chk_st dev_st" stays "ready running" after offline the device

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.

CC List:	9 users (show)
Fixed In Version:	device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-98.el6
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: When a path device is orphaned (no a member of a multipath device), he device state and checker state displayed with the "show paths" command is the state of the device before it was orphaned. Consequence: the show paths command shows out of date information on devices that is no longer checking. Fix: the "show paths" command now displays "undef" as the checker state and "unknown" as the device state of orphaned paths. Result: Users no longer get potentially confusing stale data for devices that aren't being checked.

Comment 8 ThomasMore 2020-06-19 10:40:15 UTC

Understanding the inquiry is the initial step, however, it is Similarly significant that you utilize the accessible time. Understudies regularly think little of the measure of work required to compose a decent exposition, which brings about two things: (1) late evenings at the library, and (2) a baffling evaluation. On the off chance that you need to accomplish a decent imprint, you should begin arranging your paper the second you get the article question. The accompanying table might be a valuable guide.
