Public bug reported: Binary package hint: multipath-tools
The kpartx udev rule runs "modprobe -Qba dm-multipath" every time a device mapper device is added or changed. Not only is this a waste of resources, but it fails because modprobe has no -Q switch. It also has this rule: ENV{DM_STATE}=="ACTIVE", ENV{DM_UUID}=="dmraid-*", \ RUN+="/sbin/kpartx -a -p -part /dev/$kernel" This kpartx command should not be run because dmraid already creates the partition device, but it isn't run anyhow because the rule matches on "dmraid-*" but dmraid devices have an id of the form "DMRAID-*". Note the difference in case. ** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737027 Title: kpartx udev rule is broken -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
