+===== USB drives and multipath =====
+No USB drives should be added by multipath. However, multipath can add a USB drive into it's configuration, if it detects a new drive.
+To check if multipath has added a USB drive, it is possible to check by running:
+<file>
+# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ext_hdd
+mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/ext_hdd busy
+sudo /sbin/multipath -l
+/dev/sda1: UUID="da85426e-cffc-4d13-8d7f-64549e7ca0ce" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
+HSV450_log01_arch (36001438005dec6e40000500000060000) dm-6 HP,HSV450
+[size=500G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw]
+\_ round-robin 0 [prio=200][active]
+ \_ 0:0:0:1 sda 8:0   [active][ready]
+ \_ 0:0:1:1 sdb 8:16  [active][ready]
+ \_ 1:0:0:1 sdd 8:48  [active][ready]
+ \_ 1:0:1:1 sde 8:64  [active][ready]
+\_ round-robin 0 [prio=40][enabled]
+ \_ 0:0:2:1 sdc 8:32  [active][ready]
+ \_ 0:0:3:1 sdf 8:80  [active][ready]
+ \_ 1:0:2:1 sdg 8:96  [active][ready]
+ \_ 1:0:3:1 sdh 8:112 [active][ready]
+</file>
+If the USB drive is found in multipath, then the device should be blacklisted in /etc/multipath.conf.
+An example is below:
+<file>
+blacklist {
+        devnode         "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
+        devnode         "^hd[a-z][[0-9]*]"
+        devnode         "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*"
+        wwid            "da85426e-cffc-4d13-8d7f-64549e7ca0ce"
+}
+</file>
+multipath has to be flushed for the new configuration to take place.  This is done via:
+<file>
+# multipath -F
+# service multipath restart
+</file>
