Hi Cliff,

theer is just one path; I rechecked. The storage and server are attached
currently direct with one twinaxial cable and just one ip on each side.

Multipathing was never configured.

I'm confused.

Currently I reattached the targets and reformatted the devices.

in dmesg I just see one sdb and one sdc.

sda is the internal disk and no more disk devices show up e.g. with
fdisk -l.

Any more suggestions or thoughts?
