I tried to build something similar, but ran into problems with 
gmultipath. There are situtations in which gmultipath retries an I/O 
request ad infinitum, because it can't tell the difference between 
temporary errors (e.g. a link failure) and permanent errors (e.g. a head 
crash). It just sees that the struct bio contains an error and retries 
reactivating failed links if it runs out of active links.

Other than that it it worked ;-).
