RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Manpage of multipath.conf update request:

Doc-Mulitpath have better clarification about defaults multipaths devices sections of multipath:
==============
defaults
    General default settings for DM-Multipath.

multipaths
    Settings for the characteristics of individual multipath devices. These
values overwrite what is specified in the defaults and devices sections of the
configuration file.

devices
    Settings for the individual storage controllers. These values overwrite
what is specified in the defaults section of the configuration file. If you are
using a storage array that is not supported by default, you may need to create
a devices subsection for your array.
==============

Please also add these notes into manpage:


The priority of configuration in multipath.conf is:
multipaths "is greater than" devices "is greater than" defaults
