Default SLES 11 and multipath

We try to migrate one of our SLES 10.2 servers to SLES 11 and noticed some serious problems with multipath.

First, there are some tools that are now in a new location and have different Arguments:

getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/%n"

This executable is provided by the udev package and is now located under "/lib/udev/" and no longer under "/sbin/". The SLES 11 Documentation is wrong here.

Tools like "/sbin/mpath_prio_hds_modular" are no longer part of the multipath-tools package. I was not able to find them, are they built-in now (/lib/multipath/libpriohds.so)?

Finaly if i run multipath i don't get any mappings at all. If i run "multipath -v5" i see the following error message:

???:

"libdevmapper: ioctl/libdm-iface.c(1691): device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument"

Is it possible that this is still a misconfiguration or is this a bug? For me it looks like a method call with the wrong arguments.

any ideas?
