... where UUID_PREFIX is what kpartx uses anyway, i.e. "part$N".

kpartx creates sh
Working on a bug report about kpartx not properly removing

and improperly handled corner cases in the kpartx code for
deleting partitions. Some mappings are not deleted although
they should be, and others are deleted although that is clea
