Re: Reboot crashes with MD3200i + open-iscsi + multipath

Hi there,

we have a MD3200i as the target and a SuseLinux12.1 32bit computer as the initiator.

I installed and configured open-iscsi + multipath and everything works fine, unless Im doing a reboot, either the computer hangs or crashes.

This doesn't happen when I stop the multipathd and give a multipath -F in the console before I reboot.

After reading some forums, I wrote the "multipath -F"-command in the stop-section of the multipathd-script, didnt help, I wrote a "no_path_retry 0" in the default-section of the multipath.conf, didnt help either.

The names of the shutdown-scripts from multipath and iscsi startet both with K01 ..., I changed the one from iscsi in K02..., so that multipath shuts down before iscsi, still crashing.

Here is my very simple multipath.conf.

defaults
{
        max_fds 8192
        user_friendly_names yes
        no_path_retry 0
}

blacklist {
        devnode "sd[abc]"
        device {
                vendor "*"
                product "Universal Xport"
        }
}

multipaths
{
        multipath {
                wwid   36782bcb0003ecec80000070a4fb14413
                alias  maildata
        }
}

I really dont know anymore what I still could try. For any answers I would be happy.

Thanks in advance
