Subject: [PATCH] multipathd: disallow changing to/from fpin marginal paths on
reconfig
Setting marginal_pathgroups to fpin causes two new threads to be created
when multipathd starts. Turning it on after multipathd starts up won't
cause the theads to start, and turing it off won't keep the threads from
working. So disallow changing marginal_pathgroups to/from "fpin" on
reconfigure.
