Description Zach Carlson 2011-07-12 19:47:26 UTC
Description of problem:

Anytime multipath is run, it warns about invalid keywords in multipath.conf even though those exact keywords are also present in /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7/multipath.conf.annotated

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

device-mapper-multipath 0.4.7

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run multipath -l in console
2. Watch errors come up
  
Actual results:

mulipath.conf line 69, invalid keyword: path_checker
mulipath.conf line 72, invalid keyword: features
mulipath.conf line 81, invalid keyword: path_checker
mulipath.conf line 84, invalid keyword: features
mulipath.conf line 93, invalid keyword: path_checker
mulipath.conf line 96, invalid keyword: features
mulipath.conf line 132, invalid keyword: fallback
mulipath.conf line 133, invalid keyword: path_selected


Expected results:

No warnings of this sort whatsoever

Additional info:

Most functionality doesn't appear hindered, but I'm not entirely certain at this point that multipath is behaving as expected.

Comment 1 Zach Carlson 2011-07-12 19:56:26 UTC
I did not read the documentation as thoroughly as I should have and that is why the misconfiguration slipped in -- plus, when it was introduced, that version of the software didn't warn about things like that. My sincerest apologies.
