different LUN numbers under the same dm device

[Brian Bunker <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our company produces a multiple port Fibre Channel storage array. We are continually plagued by this problem. We get a dm device which combines paths for different LUN's. We would like to understand why this is happening. Wouldn't this problem almost certainly lead to a data corruption?

Thanks,
Brian

Of the 4 paths to dm-11, we can see two paths are for LUN 10 and the other two are for LUN 12. We have 24 other dm devices which have only the expected 2 paths.
