Thank you for your testing, Andy.
Christophe,
I found that you have already applied the patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/storage/multipath-tools/.git;a=commit;h=6a3b111e5e1fb6661a6fe4ff5a44397128279a10
Although the patch is not related to the new dynamic load balancers
directly, it definitely fixes a bug of the table parser.
Thank you very much.
As for the actual parsers of the new load balancers, I'll investigate
the needs and post as separate patches.
Thanks,
Kiyoshi Ueda
