QUESTION
========
1) Would this problem be considered a bug?
It would seem to me that the partition minor numbers should match
the last number of the partition filename. That is, at least when
using the following formula:
last number of partition filename ==
partition minor number % device minor number
i'd say it can be considered a bug in libparted
L.
Thank you for the response Luca.
I had to think on this one for a while.
In the case where a /dev/mapper device name ends in number, there exists
more than one way that each partition will be named.
Command Sample Partition #1 Name in /dev/mapper Directory
------- -------------------------------------------------
dmraid isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol01
kpartx isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0p1
Based on the fact that there might be more than one name, I assume that
more than one partition minor number will be required. Using this
logic, libparted would the be tool that would need to handle this situation.

Curtis
