Hello, here goes multipath-tools-0.2.1 This is a fairly big update which address all the problems reported so far and includes patchs from a greater number of testers. I'm quite happy to see it mostly works for a wide variety of hardware (server arch and storage). Anyway, it still needs more beating. Specificaly on EMC hardware, to which I don't have access. Changelog for this release : * [multipath] add a flag to inihibit the final SIGHUP to multipathd. Needed to avoid recursion with the correction below * [multipathd] devmap event now triggers a multipath exec in addition to the usual updatepaths() * [multipathd] move checkers from sg_io on BLK onto CHR readsector0 goes from read to sg_read * [multipathd] rely on sysfs for failedpaths enum and no longer on the device mapper * [multipathd] convert get_lun_strings from ioctl to sysfs so we can benefit from strings persistency for failed paths * [multipath] readconfig() to take only 8 char from vendor string (ake) * [multipath] remove unecessery and wrong getuid == NULL check from devinfo() (ake) * [multipathd] make readsector0 open path O_DIRECT * [multipathd] sizeof(path) -> sizeof(struct path) (MikeC) * [Makefile] don't try to install and uninstall libs * [devmap_name] kill the wrong trailing '\n' (Mike Christie) * [kpartx] works with device nodes outside /dev * [kpartx] correctly display the delimiter in partition name outputs Downloads and docs at http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr regards, cvaroqui
