1) takes really long time to return
2) would like to understand whats the origin of this error
3) error message has a spell mistake; /s/assembing/assembling/g

Comment 3 Ben Marzinski 2011-08-12 03:08:58 UTC
There are a number of possible reasons why you might be getting that error.  I've made some debug packages that you can pick up at

http://people.redhat.com/bmarzins/device-mapper-multipath/rpms/RHEL6/x86_64/

or

http://people.redhat.com/bmarzins/device-mapper-multipath/rpms/RHEL6/i686/

that will print more debugging information so that I can see what's going on here.

Comment 4 Suzanne Logcher 2011-10-06 18:42:14 UTC
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
               
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
