Currently a dm target device which is not blacklisted need not have a corresponding hwentry in either libmultipath/hwtable.c or /etc/multipath.conf for the target device to be recognized and a multipath mapped device created for it. Is this desirable, possibly for multipathing to JBOD? An alternative is to require that a hwentry be found and fail to recognize the target device otherwise. Doing so has the distinct advantage of being able to use the regular expression matching logic in find_hwe() to effectively blacklist a target device based on the contents of the target device's vendor and product device attributes. -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
