I'm using 11.2-U2 and seeing the following error multiple times in dmesg and I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on the issue:
GEOM_MULTIPATH: disk30 created
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da60 added to disk30
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da60 is now active path in disk30
GEOM: multipath/disk30: corrupt or invalid GPT detected.
GEOM: multipath/disk30: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable.
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da84 added to disk30
GEOM_MULTIPATH: disk31 created
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da61 added to disk31
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da61 is now active path in disk31
GEOM: multipath/disk31: corrupt or invalid GPT detected.
GEOM: multipath/disk31: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable.
GEOM_MULTIPATH: da85 added to disk31
(This pattern repeats up through disk40.)
Based on the messages, and some further digging (comparing serial numbers), it appears that the da60 is a path to a disk, not the actual disk itself (disk30). Is this correct?
It also appears that the second path, da84, was successful for disk30, as the next message appears to be for another disk. Is this correct?
Is this an indication of failing drives or just a multipath issue? If it is a multipath issue does rebooting usually correct the problem? If it is a path issue, how does this affect performance?
Thanks in advance.
