[FIX] multipathd error on Ubuntu 20.04.1

 ﷽ 

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.
