Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Users no longer get potentially confusing stale data for multipath devices that are not being checked Previously, when a path device is orphaned (not a member of a multipath device), the device state and checker state displayed with the "show paths" command in the state of the device before it was orphaned. As a result, the "show paths" command showed out of date information on devices that was no longer checking. With this fix, the "show paths" command now displays `undef` as the checker state and `unknown` as the device state of orphaned paths and users no longer get potentially confusing stale data for devices that are not being checked.

Fix Ported.

Ben:

Could you check my editing of your doc text into release note format to be sure it is still ok?  Thanks.

Comment 4 Ben Marzinski 2017-05-08 14:44:26 EDT
It looks good, except that `show pathsr` should obviously be `show paths`.
