I'm looking through the multipath udev rules again to see if we can come closer to one consistent set, or at least understand why we need to agree to disagree and right now I'm trying to figure out why it's important for SUSE to have 56-multipath.rules run before 60-persistent-storage.rules. We use 62-multipath.rules in RHEL for two main reasons. First, scsi_id is run in 60-persistent-storage.rules, which is what sets ID_SERIAL, so if multipath.rules is run before that, we'll never be able to get our information from udev. I know that you've added code to cope with this, assuming the standard uid_attribute, but it seems better to me to just wait for udev to fill in these values itself. Second, 60-persistent-storage.rules runs blkid, which should set ID_FS_TYPE. Setting it in 56-multipath.rules just means that 60-persistent-storage.rules will overwrite it. So, what do we gain by running multipath.rules before 60-persistent-storage.rules? -Ben -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
