If a multipath device needs to be renamed and reloaded when multipathd
starts, it will only get reloaded. This can happen if the multipath
configuration is different between the initramfs and regular filesystem.
The only thing that can happen along with a rename is a force reload.
This patchset makes libmultipath also do all the other actions that are
compatible with a rename.
changes in v2 (as suggested by Martin Wilck)
0004: If the rename is impossible, multipath now checks for other
actions, instead of always returning ACT_IMPOSSIBLE
Benjamin Marzinski (4):
libmultipath: use select_reload_action in select_action
libmultipath: select resize action even if reload is forced
libmultipath: cleanup ACT_CREATE code in select_action
libmultipath: keep renames from stopping other multipath actions
