Comment 4 for bug 306723

I can't get a hold of anyone on #ubuntu-devel who'll take responsibility for multipath-tools and the ubuntu-devel list is all moderated to an elite club of developers or something, so I've patched multipath-tools myself to work.

With multipath-tools=0.4.8-10ubuntu3~ppa1 from [1], multipath is now working as I expect it to:

# multipath -ll
sdb: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down"
sdd: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down"
36001e4f0003968c6000012da48aac3d1dm-0 ,
[size=278G][features=0][hwhandler=0]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ #:#:#:# sdb 8:16 [active][faulty]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active]
 \_ #:#:#:# sdc 8:32 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ #:#:#:# sdd 8:48 [active][faulty]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled]
 \_ #:#:#:# sde 8:64 [active][ready]

There was also the issue of s/block/dev/. I'll leave that to the package maintainers to make a long term decision on.
