Ed, Alasdair, et al, this is your last chance to convince me not to kill clone()/private namespace/ramfs logic in multipathd. Because : 1) Martin spoted some rough edges with it and pthread cancelations. 2) It was introduced at a time when path reinstate was done by /sbin/multipath, which is not the case anymore. 3) It simplifies the design a fair bit and removes quite a lot of code. I verified the path reinstate codepath, and it does only 1 dmt allocation ... no callbacks anymore. So I guess it is safe to kill, be would like to raise the point one last time. Regards, cvaroqui
