Hey,

Anyone know if Linux (specifically RHEL 5.x) supports multi-pathing to
tapes? Is it worth setting up a media server with a 10 GigE interface and
two (or more) FC connections on the other?

AFAICT, the "device-mapper-multipath" only support MPIO for block devices.
Is this assessment correct?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,
David
