There is more work that needs to be done to besides removing the is_daemon check. However, Martin already posted patches that deal with this as part of the his large patchset. https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2020-July/msg00245.html You should take a look at those, and at my comments on them, because they should resolve your issue. -Ben > > Reported-by: Tianxiong Li <lutianxi...@huawei.com> > Signed-off-by: Lixiaokeng <lixiaok...@huawei.com> > Signed-off-by: Zhiqiang Liu <liuzhiqian...@huawei.com> > > --- > libmultipath/dmparser.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/libmultipath/dmparser.c b/libmultipath/dmparser.c > index b856a07f..d556f642 100644 > --- a/libmultipath/dmparser.c > +++ b/libmultipath/dmparser.c > @@ -315,7 +315,7 @@ int disassemble_map(vector pathvec, char *params, struct > multipath *mpp, > WWID_SIZE); > } > /* Only call this in multipath client mode */ > - if (!is_daemon && store_path(pathvec, pp)) > + if (store_path(pathvec, pp)) > goto out1; > } else { > if (!strlen(pp->wwid) && > -- -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
