This is a patch to add the option of more user friendly names for the multipath maps, in the form of mpath<n>. It adds a configuration option "user_friendly_names". If set, it will cause multipath to check a bindings file for the names. The bindings file (/var/lib/multipath/bindings) has alias to wwid mappings. If multipath finds its wwid in the file, it uses the associated alias. If not, it creates a new alias, and adds the binding to the bindings file. If the config option is not set, multipath defaults to it's regular behavior. Specific aliases in /etc/multipath.conf override this behavior. -Ben -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
