Description of problem: devlabel reload do not remove symlinks to nonexiting devices. It only prints The device /dev/sdg no longer seems to exist. Because of this, the symlink /dev/san/s1sanmsa1500_gomos -> /dev/sdg will not be available. The reference to this symlink in /etc/sysconfig/devlabel will be ignored. After reboot when devices are reassigned that symbol link point to wrong device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [hurtta@smb2 hurtta]$ rpm -q devlabel devlabel-0.48.03-10 [hurtta@smb2 hurtta]$ How reproducible: - make symlink to multipath device with devlabel - make all paths to device fail - reboot or run 'devlabel reload' - notice that symlink is still kept.

Please, I would like to see result of: cat /proc/partitions | awk {'print $1" "$2" "$3" "$4'} before "devlabel reload" in situation when the path to device is not valid. By the way, devlabel reports many things (by syslog) to your system logs.
