Cover letter [PATCH 0/21] SUSE multipath-tools resync
Hi Christophe,
there have been quite some fixes accumulating here; and as I finally found some time I thought it a nice idea to have them sent upstream. There are fixes for various bits and pieces; mostly no big deal. Most important of these are the following:
- Added an option '-t' to dump the internal hardware table to multipath. This is quite helpful when generating your own multipath-tools.conf and you'd like to start with some sensible defaults.
- We now got a manpage multipath.conf.5 !
- New priority checker 'hp_sw' which will allow us to group these machines by priority, too.
Some patches might be a bit controversial; they make sense to me, but others might think otherwise:
- I've removed libsysfs and implemented the sysfs handling internally. With the current changes in sysfs the older libsysfs doesn't work anymore and in either case it was just a big annoyance.
- I've hacked up kpartx to handle extended partitions as well. Currently it's quite peculiar with kpartx; we'd be generating tables for all partitions _unless_ it's an extended one. So we won't be getting any symlinks to the extended partition when we're using kpartx, although the device itself is present.
Feel free to omit them if you don't agree.
And of course, feedback etc is welcome.
Christophe, please pull from

Hannes
