[PATCH 09/10] kpartx: use absolute path for regular files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kpartx supports being called for a regular file, in which
case it assumes that it should set up a loop device or use
an existing one. Because the loopinfo.lo_name field contains
an absolute path, matching with existing loop devices fails
for relative paths. Matching by basename only would be unreliable.

Therefore, convert relative to absolute path for regular files.
