Process are stuck in D-state due to multipathd

By admin

For multipaths with queueing enabled and with all paths down, the kernel will store submitted IOs in a queue and resubmit them upon path recovery. Process submitting IOs to these multipath are stuck in D-state (uninterruptible sleep). The 'no_path_retry 4' multipath parameter will instruct the kernel to unplug the queue after 4 failed path-tests. Unplugging the queue will fail all stored IOs. If the outage will last, the admin might wish to unplug the queues right-away. The following … [Read more...] about Process are stuck in D-state due to multipathd
