Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0166 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE device-mapper-multipath bug fix update 2012-02-20 15:06:36 UTC

Description Gris Ge 2011-06-23 07:41:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Bug #627911 introduce a new feature for file_timeout.

Please update the following documents for this new feature:

multipath.conf.defaults
multipath.conf.annotated

As https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/688521/ metioned, 

	Fix for bz #674366.  Multipath has a new defaults config value file_timeout.
	This allows users to set the length of time multipathd will wait for a necessary
	file to appear. Previously, it used the hardcoded value, WAIT_MAX_SECONDS.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-46.el5

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No document shiped with rpm has mentioned file_timeout feature.

Expected results:
file_timeout feature documented in multipath.conf.defaults and multipath.conf.annotated
