[Bug 927540] Re: multipath ignores blacklist in multipath.conf

[gdahlman]

I think blacklist device maching is expanded as a regex and not as a
glob, thus the * will not provide a match.  Can you try the following
change.

Replace:

 device {
                vendor "DELL*"
                product "PERC*"
        }

With:

       device {
               vendor DELL.*
               product PERC.*
       }

Also if you could paste the output from

$ sudo udisks --dump

It would help debug this issue, I am not on the Ubuntu team but I am
trying to track down an issue that may be related to this.

Title:
  multipath ignores blacklist in multipath.conf

Status in “multipath-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Multipath in Ubuntu 12.04 ignores blacklist settings in multipath.conf

  In multipath.conf the following blacklist is configured:

  
  blacklist {
          wwid 36782bcb070070100166a7a1640a66db2
          devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
          devnode "^hd[a-z][[0-9]*]"
          devnode "^vd[a-z]"
          devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]"
          device {
                  vendor "DELL*"
                  product "PERC*"
          }
          device {
                  vendor  "*"
                  product "Universal Xport"
          }
          device {
                  vendor  "*"
                  product "MD3000"
          }
          device {
                  vendor  "*"
                  product "MD3000i"
          }
          device {
                  vendor  "*"
                  product "Virtual Disk"
          }
  }

  Still multipath -ll lists the internal SAS HDD (via Dell Perc 6/i
  Controller):

  ...
  36782bcb070070100166a7a1640a66db2 dm-0 DELL,PERC 6/i
  size=136G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
  `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active
    `- 2:2:0:0  sda  8:0    active ready running
  ...
