-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So if I tell dmsetup to create a device named 'foo bar' it ends up actually naming it 'foo\x20bar'. If I run parted on 'foo\x20bar', it appears that libdevmapper helpfully tries to unescape the name, returning 'foo bar' from dm_task_get_name(). Unfortunately, such a dev node does not actually exist so this creates a problem trying to open it. This seems like a bug in libdevmapper. I'd say the name of the actual dev node should not be escaped in the first place. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTDh6oAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwDQgH/ikb56o0nnptlD98L1dW9LNi pZQL7IixpwVCLHrI2DBIZvtGAQKgrN16lMLIkLnH7LzRXNaw9Lkw/QG9Jgs+Zibm fd5yYTgHlOCCsw8OEIOoXLT3YRWB6fjsWrGuFo9/SnJQpZVjxeLCGoopIkusNd6A aP8BnX4iWl/eJgs/4gOuFjbimckDui5jYnp4ZJ8ena7a+tv1H/rywPkboOlKrz2+ /dI9WMJYFyUYqaVgZCXstBStCQTF6156HZAkB+qqwAo2um9SP+yQlU7zqixieK9T h/Rd7MuDHPe+TObNVmLRRXJ1+c2yoEKa8ra8WH+C/G7u2V6qtzZf0CfSMzk0p+A= =wPZ8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
