During our reguler syslog monitoring, we found some of our linux machine running Ubuntu 20.04.1 which running on top of VMWare are showing the following error :
So if you experiencing the same error then the following solution might also help you fix the issue.
1. Edit /etc/multipath.conf file : vi /etc/multipath.conf
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}
blacklist {
device {
vendor "VMware"
product "Virtual disk"
}
}
2. Restart the multipahd service : systemctl restart multipath-tools.service
3. Alhamdulillah, no more multipathd error recorded in syslog.
That's it hope it useful.
