Fixed In Version: device-mapper-multipath-0.8.4-34.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When paths were removed, multipathd could free the array of matching device config entries for a multipath device, while the device still pointed to it Consequence: multipathd could occasionally crash after path removal Fix: multipathd now makes sure that the device config list no longer points to freed memory. Result: multipathd not longer crashes after path removal

You don't happen to have the coredump, do you? This will be much easier to debug if I can see the state it was in when it crashed.

Comment 3 Ben Marzinski 2022-09-14 17:09:23 UTC
It might also be useful to have the device-mapper-multipath-debuginfo package installed.
