Here's a list of everyone who has responded so far to the request for feedback to the storage_sig. This was in response to an action item from the June 23 storage sig phone conference call. Responses From: Mike Christie Lars Marowsky-Bree Stefan Bader Mike Anderson Badari Pulavarty Timothy Witham Robert Wipfel The files in this directory are attemtps to aggregate the email responses. The files are: 1. dm-todo-list A TODO list for DM, SCSI, and Block layer changes to produce multipath for 2.6. (Mike Christie, Stefan Bader, Timothy Witham, Mike Anderson) 2. high-level-requirements High level requirements for multipath (Badari Pulavarty, Mike Christie) 3. Suse Suse multipath in SLES9 is based on Device-Mapper (Lars Marowsky-Bree) 4. iscsi iSCSI issues, mostly in resposne to Badari's mail in item 2 above. (Mike Christie, Robert Wipfel) I've attempted to aggregate each of these sections, and put them on my web site. You can find them at: http://www.developer.osdl.org/dmo/storage-sig-feedback/ I'm still hoping to get some feedback from others on the list. But perhaps that'll take more time. One question I'm hoping to start addressing, is what can OSDL do to help in the progress of multipath support in Linux. What equipment could we provide, etc. One of the comments from Badari regarding fault insertion has grabbed my interest. We have some ideas on how to do some types of fault insertion. We have an idea on how to be able to intiate hard disk failures, or to provide access to FC switches to fail paths. Does anyone have other ideas for approaches, or equipement that would be helpful? Thanks, Dave Olien
