I think it would be an improvement to:
. Make obtain_device_list_from_udev only control how we get the device
list. Then we can easily default to 0 and readdir /dev if it's better.
. Use both native md/mpath detection *and* udev info when it's readily
available (don't wait for it), instead of limiting ourselves to one
source of info. If either source indicates an md/mpath component,
then we consider it true.
The second point means we are free to change obtain_device_list_from_udev
as we wish, without affecting md/mpath detection. It may also improve
md/mpath detection overall.
Here are the initial patches I'm testing (libmpathvalid not yet added)
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dev-dct-device-info-1
I compiled & tested the code.
I don't know if I missed something, the result didn't show any progress.
the result of "devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev=0" even got regression: from 23.3 => 39.8
the lvm2 version with dev-dct-device-info-1 branch code
