"# This is an example configuration file for use with ftScalable Storage. # # This file blacklists all device vendor/product values, with an exception for # ftScalable vendor/product. There are other ways to achieve the same thing. # For example, blacklist wwid * with an exception for each lun's wwid. Or # blacklist all devices via the defaults getuid_callout (remove the -g option) # and whitelist ftScalable either by adding an appropriate getuid_callout # line to the ftScalable device section, or by modifying /etc/scsi_id.config. # # Note: if booting from a multipath device, you must run mkinitrd # after changing /etc/multipath.conf.
