I would rather rely on device-mapper uuids here. Hannes, I am not sure what you are referring to when you say, "You sure?" Are you saying if I am sure about this bug? If so, you can see yourself by swapping couple entries in the bindings file. As I said, you will notice this bug only when you enable 'user_friendly_names' in initrd in real life! > So we can use the known naming scheme for the uuid to regenerate the > wwid; with this we can identify/access the device and we should be able to > make do with just one pass. Say, you have "mpath0[uuid0]" and "mpath1[uuid1]" loaded currently. How can we rename mpath0 to mpath1 and vice-versa? It does require an intermediate step of renaming to something else, right?
