Ported.
Comment 14 michal novacek 2009-10-21 17:07:43 UTC 
old version: 0.4.7-30.el5
new version: 0.4.7-30.el5_4.1

I added the following piece to /etc/multipath.conf and restarted multipath:
       device {
               vendor                  "STK"
               product                 "FLEXLINE 380"
               getuid_callout          "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
               prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n"
               features                "0"
               hardware_handler        "1 rdac"
               path_grouping_policy    group_by_prio
               failback                immediate
               rr_weight               uniform
               no_path_retry           queue
               rr_min_io               1000
               path_checker            rdac
        }

I verified that running 'multipathd -k"show config"' ignores the configuration
with old version and recognizes it correctly for new version.

Customer confirmed that the issue is fixed.
Comment 15 Jong Bae KO 2009-10-24 06:36:16 UTC 
Updated from the customer.
==========
Latest test using RHEL 5.4 with no modified rpm's  
kernel-2.6.18.164.2.1.el5
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-30.el5_4.2
kpartx-0.4.7-30.el5_4.2

multipath -ll -v2 returns expected result.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mountpoint dumps data at expected speed.

Non modified initrd causes so many errors that it slows up the boot by four and a half minutes, when compared to running modified initrd:
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) --preload=scsi_dh_rdac
