MULTIPATHD(8)MULTIPATHD(8)NAME
multipathd - multipath daemon
SYNOPSYS
multipathd
This daemon is in charge of checking for failed paths. When this hap‐
pens, it will reconfigure the multipath map the path belongs to, so
that this map regains its maximum performance and redundancy.
This daemon executes the external multipath config tool when events
occur. In turn, the multipath tool signals the multipathd daemon when
it is done with devmap reconfiguration, so that it can refresh its
failed path list.
