NAME
       multipathd - multipath daemon

SYNOPSYS
       multipathd

       This  daemon  is in charge of checking for failed paths. When this hap-
       pens, it will reconfigure the multipath map the	path  belongs  to,  so
       that this map regains its maximum performance and redundancy.

       This  daemon  executes  the  external multipath config tool when events
       occur.  In turn, the multipath tool signals the multipathd daemon  when
       it  is  done  with  devmap  reconfiguration, so that it can refresh its
       failed path list.
