alternate link limit
so Currently LVM supports a maximum of 8 paths to a physical volume (7 alternates and one primary).
Right now we have more than 7 alternate link to the same disk, is there any way to enlarge the limit(for example to 16)?

Re: alternate link limit
I don't believe that there is any provision for extending this limit. Perhaps, more interesting, is the question of "why". Remember, LVM alternate links (pvlinks) are for high-availability only. That is, the primary link (first in 'etc/lvmtab') performs the I/O whereas a secondary, tertiary, etc. becomes active only in the event the primary fails.
Regards!

Re: alternate link limit
At a guess I'd say you need to change that FC Hub for a couple of Brocades :-)

One life is more than enough for a cat.
