well that's the thing I read in other post that those are since the multipath is not started during bootup

but I just got home and I found these

kernel: printk: 20 messages suppressed.
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 14417919
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 14417919
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdf, logical block 0

and I left this system 4 hours ago and still getting these messages well those above are the only ones

I get the point during boot up even when the boot up process is slow because of those messages I don't know why while the server is up and running

is there a way to avoid multipath be sensing the passive paths?

blkmapd

blkmapd(8)						      System Manager's Manual							blkmapd(8)

NAME

       blkmapd - pNFS block layout mapping daemon

SYNOPSIS

       blkmapd [-d] [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       The blkmapd daemon performs device discovery and mapping for the parallel NFS (pNFS) block layout client [RFC5663].

       The pNFS block layout protocol builds a complex storage hierarchy from a set of simple volumes.	These simple volumes are addressed by con-
       tent, using a signature on the volume to uniquely name each one.  The daemon locates a volume by examining each block device in the  system
       for the given signature.

       The  topology  typically  consists of a hierarchy of volumes built by striping, slicing, and concatenating the simple volumes.  The blkmapd
       daemon uses the device-mapper driver to construct logical devices that reflect the server topology, and passes these devices to the  kernel
       for use by the pNFS block layout client.

OPTIONS

       -d     Performs device discovery only then exits.

       -f     Runs blkmapd in the foreground and sends output to stderr (as opposed to syslogd)

SEE ALSO

       nfs(5), dmsetup(8)

       RFC 5661 for the NFS version 4.1 specification.
       RFC 5663 for the pNFS block layout specification.
