SubjectRe: 2.6.26-rc2-mm1 (SCSI_DH build errors)
From
Date
Hi James, Andrew,

Here is a patch to remove the automatic "select" of scsi_dh for
dm-multipath.

Sorry about the mishap.

Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH
doesn't exist,just do not allow hardware handlers to be used.
