Hi, I have been running IOZONE tests to 32 LVM volumes with ext2 filesystems on them. I am using a Sles11 SP4 guest on z/VM 6.3. I keep seeing unusable path messages in /var/log/messages from Multipathd. However I don't see any path faults or any other messages indicating problems. Does anyone have any idea what these messages mean? Internet searches have yielded little. I appreciate any help.
