    In case of fail_path, can someone  help me to understand what is the exact value of period of time ("period of time has expired with no failures on that path") as mentioned in "fail_path" attribute definition below.
     

    where can I read this value and can it be changed?


    fail_path = The Path will be failed on command timeout assuming it is not the last path in the path group. If a path that failed due to command timeouts recovers, the path will not be used for read/write I/O until a period of time has expired with no failures on that path. Enabling this feature may add a delay for routing I/O to paths that have just recovered.
