Hello, here goes multipath-tools-0.3.0 Faster release cycle. Big things for some people out there. Upgrade will need you to manualy remove your /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules and kill your devmap_name rule in udev.rules (we use a separate rules.d file now) In short : * easy multipath-aware initrds on Debian SID * fully fonctionnal with direct-attached SCSI disks (single-path) Full ChangeLog for the release : * first cut at making scripts to create multipath-aware initrds those scripts are tested on Debian SID, and must be copied into /etc/mkinitrd/scripts. it works here. * [multipath] verify presence of the /sys/block/... node before reading sysfs attributes. Avoids libsysfs and scsi_id stderr garbage * [multipath] move down the stderr close (Ake Sandgren at umu.se) * [multipath] don't care about 0-sized mp (Ake Sandgren at umu.se) * [multipath] bump mp size field to ulong (Ake Sandgren at umu.se) * [multipath] replace quiet/verbose flags by a verbosity one. introduce a new verbosity level : 1 == print only devmap names thus we can feed kpartx with that output * [multipath] update man page to reflect the hotplug.d -> dev.d transition and replace the obsolete group_by_tur policy by the forgotten group_by_prio * [multipath] provide a /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules for multipath devices naming. Cleaner than the previously suggested rule addition in the main udev.rules * [multipath] move out of hotplug.d to dev.d : kill synchronisation problems between device node creation and multipath execution. Incidentally the unfriendly $DEVPATH param become a friendly $DEVNAME (simply /dev/sdb) * [multipath] rework the iopolicies name-to-id & id-to-name translations. kills the last compilation warning here too * [kpartx] kill last compilation warnings * bump klibc to 0.181 * add the debian/ packaging dir (make deb) * prototype __clone & __clone2 (kills compilation warning) As usual, doc and download at : http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/ regards, -- christophe varoqui <christophe.varoqui@xxxxxxx>
