Comment 5 for bug 2066286

Hi Mitchell,

Responding to the last 3 emails you have send,

1. I am not sure about the SRU process
2. If you can apply the upstream patch to the stable release, yes, I can test it out. This will be great.
3. Ubuntu 20.04(focal) , yes agree the highest Multipath version is 0.8.3-1. The number of times, seen with that is less compared to Ubuntu 22.04(jammy with Multipath 0.8.8

Thanks,
