Package: dmsetup Version: 2:1.02.20-2 Severity: wishlist Hi, to automatically (and reliably - so we can finally fix #376161) setup the partitions of multipath'ed devices current multipath-tools would like to use this kind of udev rule:
ENV{DM_STATE}=="ACTIVE", ENV{DM_UUID}=="mpath-*", \ RUN+="/sbin/kpartx -a -p -part /dev/$kernel" therefore we need DM_STATE and DM_UUID in the environment. SuSE 10 and Ubuntu do this via: IMPORT{program}="/sbin/dmsetup export -j%M -m%m" however for this to work, this patch to dmsetup is needed: http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/frugalware/frugalware-current/source/lib/device-mapper/device-mapper-dmsetup-export.patch The patch looks harmless. Note however that upstream won't include it as is: http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=118495003628017&w=2 So we won't see an upstream solution too soon. Please consider applying the patch so we finally have reliable multipathing. Let me know if I can help in any way.
