FreeNAS 9.10 no ix-multipath

[remonv76]

Hi there,

So i replaced a disk and the new disk is not seen as a multipath disk. It is seen as single path disk /dev/da54.
This should be normal, because only at boot, multipath is started and checks if the disk is multipath.
The solution I see everywhere is "service ix-multipath start", well how come in Freenas 9.10 there is no ix-multipath service?
What is the solution for 9.10?

I do not want to reboot FreeAND whenever a disk is replaced.
I could label the device myself like: gmultipath label -Name /dev/56 /dev/da54
/dev/da56 is the first free device name I can use.
After labeling I could create a multipath/diskxx and add the two devices.

But before I do this, i would like some advise if this is the correct way or if there is another solution.

Try: /usr/local/bin/midclt call notifier.multipath_sync

It should have happened automatically on disk attach, care to create a bug report for the problem?

Thanx that did the trick. I can check if I can run a debug report. From which option do you want debug information?
-e A list of comma delimited list of email addresses to email the debug log to.
-a Dump Active Directory Configuration
-c Dump (AD|LDAP) Cache
-C Dump CIFS Configuration
-D Dump Domain Controller Configuration
-d Dump dtrace scripts
-g Dump GEOM configuration
-h Dump Hardware Configuration
-I Dump IPMI Configuration
-i Dump iSCSI Configuration
-j Dump jails Information
-l Dump LDAP Configuration
-T Loader Configuration Information
-n Dump Network Configuration
-N Dump NFS Configuration
-S Dump SMART information
-s Dump SSL Configuration
-y Dump Sysctl Configuration
-t Dump System Information
-v Dump Boot System File Verification Status and Inconsistencies (if any)
-z Dump ZFS configuration

No debug is necessary.
