+If set to

+, when multipathd stops, queueing will be turned off for all devices.
+This is useful for devices that set no_path_retry. If a machine is
+shut down while all paths to a device are down, it is possible to hang waiting
+for IO to return from the device after multipathd has been stopped. Without
+multipathd running, access to the paths cannot be restored, and the kernel
+cannot be told to stop queueing IO. Setting queue_without_daemon to
+.I no
