Description of problem: The compiled in default priority callout for the Hitachi HDS SANs is incorrectly specified without the full path in libmultipath/hwtable.c: { .vendor = "HITACHI", .product = "DF.*", .getuid = DEFAULT_GETUID, .getprio = "mpath_prio_hds_modular %d", .features = DEFAULT_FEATURES, .hwhandler = DEFAULT_HWHANDLER, .selector = DEFAULT_SELECTOR, .pgpolicy = GROUP_BY_PRIO, .pgfailback = -FAILBACK_IMMEDIATE, .rr_weight = RR_WEIGHT_NONE, .no_path_retry = NO_PATH_RETRY_UNDEF, .minio = DEFAULT_MINIO, .checker_name = READSECTOR0, }, This leads to errors like: error calling out mpath_prio_hds_modular 65:32 error calling out mpath_prio_hds_modular 66:80 error calling out mpath_prio_hds_modular 65:32 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): multipath-tools-0.4.7.rhel5.5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable multipath on a system attached to a Hitachi HDS SAN by commenting out the blacklist {...} block in multipath.conf 2. Run multipath Actual results: Above errors Expected results: No errors, correctly determines path prio grouping & creates multipath maps Additional info: Easily worked around via multipath.conf device {...} blocks.
