Here is a patch that compiles clean in different combinations. But, I agree that the "depends" (under DM_MULTIPATH) sure looks weird. ----------- Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH doesn't exist,just do not allow hardware handlers to be used. Handle SCSI_DH being a module also. Make sure it doesn't allow DM_MULTIPATH to be compiled in when SCSI_DH is a module.
