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? /Götz Am 26.11.13 23:08, schrieb Cliff Pratt: > Looks like you have more than one path to the devices.
