There is a problem: udev does not create partitions for multipath

case I use kpartx.rules provided with multipath sources. I found that udev
always go to kpartx_end after following line of rules:
ENV{DM_TABLE_STATE}!="LIVE", GOTO="kpartx_end"
Actually don't understand what's this table and what's wrong with that. There
is no traces of DM_TABLE_STATE variable in lvm2 sources. Yet there is such
variable in udev rules file that comes with multipath sources:
http://git.opensvc.com/gitweb.cgi?p=multipath-tools/.git;a=blob;f=kpartx/kpartx.rules;h=022361f907e873ac16fc75459b88af34b27576e5;hb=HEAD
So you would need to figure out which rules would have set DM_TABLE_STATE before ? (I assume such have never existed...)
There was a patch suggested for dmsetup: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2007-July/msg00095.html
So it's rather question for upstream kpartx maintainer why these rules
are not maintained in any way.
Yup, that's why I'm here.
kpartx rules comes from year 2007, while dm rules started to be maintained in 2009 - that may explain few things as well...
Then your suggestion is to fix udev rules that comes with multipath. Ok.
That's Gentoo. But I think any distro that uses whatever upstream prepares
have this problem.
Likely Gentoo should not install obsoleted udev rules file.
That's true. Yet I'm not talking about Gentoo here, but about config file that comes with multipath sources and according to multipath homepage this mailing list is a right place for such discussions. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
