problem in syslog file:

May 28 10:06:57 myhostname multipathd[578]: sda: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory
May 28 10:07:02 myhostname multipathd[578]: sda: add missing path

May 28 10:07:07 myhostname multipathd[578]: sda: add missing path

>> this happens if machine is virtual machine ..

my solution:

add a black list to file: /etc/multipath.conf, so that it looks like:
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}
blacklist {
device {
vendor "VMware"
product "Virtual disk"
}
}


>> after that run a restart: /etc/init.d/multipath-tools restart
