Ubuntu failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument
On the VMware ESXI virtual machine, you will probably find the syslog file these errors:
Jul 22 18:33:42 database06 multipathd[383021]: sdb: triggering change event to reinitialize
Jul 22 18:33:42 database06 multipath: sdb: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument

Jul 22 18:33:42 database06 multipathd[701]: sdb: failed to get path uid
Jul 22 18:33:42 database06 multipathd[701]: uevent trigger error
This problem can be solved by changing the configuration of the multipathd service, and in particular by adding the following lines to the /etc/multipath.conf file:
blacklisht {
device {
vendor “VMware”
product “Virtual disk”
}
}
Then reboot the server or restart the multipathd service.
