Here goes 0.1.5, featuring :
* kpartx to manage the nested bdevs such as /dev/cciss/c0d0.
parts are named sysfs style : cciss!c0d0p*
* kpartx loop support
* kpartx do DM updates if part maps already present
* merge kpartx for partitioned multipath support
* add get_null_uid to getuid methods. assign it the "0" index
devices with this getuid are thus ignored by multipath.
warning : change /etc/multipath.conf (get_evpd_wwid == 1)
* mv all_scsi_ids out of the 2.6 code path, into the 2.4 one
* unlink runfile on malloc exit path
* update multipath manpage (MikeC)
As one can see, the big thing is the kpartx merging.
I don't really know if multipath-tools is the right place for this,
because its scope of action is quite large ... but I know I need it for
partitioned multipaths, so.
kpartx is know to successfuly map devmaps upon partioned :
* sd & hd
* devmaps (stacking) : multipath for example
* cciss raid devs (with sysfs naming)
* files (auto set_loop, lomount plagiarism)
* loops (naturaly)
Not tested but certainly working : MD, nbd, ...
As usual, untar into udev-02?/extras/ to compile.
