Linux 6 multipath

user10122998Nov 27 2012 — edited Dec 11 2012
Hi, I'm a newbie and have a question about bindings file on Linux 6.
We're migrating our server from Linux 5.4 to Linux 6.3. Both environments have direct attach storage, no SAN
Even though we're not using multipath, but we noticed the bindings file exists in version 6.3 and not version 5.4.

This is the version 6.3 /ect/multipath/bindings looks like:

# Multipath bindings, Version : 1.0
# NOTE: this file is automatically maintained by the multipath program.
# You should not need to edit this file in normal circumstances.
#
# Format:
# alias wwid
#
mpatha 3600508b1001c4d8881330e7027020cab


However this WWID belongs to an internal device.

Can you please help explain why this is happening in 6.3?

Second question, in the case if we use multipath for SAN in Linux 6.3 and want to exclude this mpath from the bindings file, is it recommended or even possible and how?

Thank you in advance.
