This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Fixed. Device names will now switch back to WWIDS on reload.
VERIFY device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-63.el6.x86_64 service multipathd reload will rename mpath if user_friendly_name changed.
