Hi, I'm currently adding multipath support to d-i. In the current setup multipath device nodes show up as /dev/mapper/mpath[0-9] and the device nodes on the partitions as /dev/mapper/mpath[0-9]-part[0-9]. Almost everything already works fine, except when it comes to createing the filesystem:
/lib/partman/commit.d/50format_ext3: IN: PARTITIONS =dev=mapper=mpath0 parted_server: Read command: PARTITIONS parted_server: command_partitions() parted_server: Opening outfifo parted_server: OUT: OK parted_server: OUT: 1 0-10737418239 10737418240 primary ext3 /dev/mapper/mpath0 parted_server: Partitions printed parted_server: OUT: Always gives /dev/mapper/mpath0 as device to the commit.d scripts but it should be /dev/mapper/mpath0-part1. With multipath the /dev/mapper/mpath0-partX devices are "simple" linear device mapper mappings: with a table like: "start end linear major:minor offset". So I assume parted is confused by the fact that the partition itself is a device mapper device (partmap return "msdos" for mpath0 and "loop" for mpath0-partX). Any ideas where to start digging?
