Hello,
here goes multipath-tools-0.2.9
The ChangeLog is pretty big this time : changes accumulated while
waiting for scsi_id-0.6 and while background-battling with an IA64
compilation glitch.
In short :
* compiles on IA64
* implement the alias OSDL CGL preconisation
* more work on single path devices and JBOD handling
Regression testing is even lighter than the previous release, because I
temporarily lost access to my favorite SAN.
Full ChangeLog for the release :
* [multipathd] finally tame the clone compilation glitch on IA64
move from sys_clone to __clone / __clone2
* [kpartx] rework from Stephan Bader, IBM :
* handle s390x arch
* endianness fixes
* push the partname string size to handle wwwids
* quieten implicit cast warnings
* [multipath] add an 'alias' multipath keyword for friendlier
device
names. This was "asked" by OSDL' CGL board of secret reviewers
* [multipath] last pass with JBOD and parallel SCSI support :
hard-code scsi_id as a fallback when disk strings doesn't
match any hwtable entry
* [multipath & multipathd] change the parser to not coalesce
consecutive spaces (Patrick Mansfield)
* [multipath] remove the [UN]: output prefix, so that stdout can
be easily fed to a tool like dmsetup
* [multipathd] DEBUG=3 logs more readable/usefull
* [multipathd] add a multipath_tool config keyword
* [multipathd] move to execute_program() like multipath already
did
* [multipath] don't print the "no path" msg in quiet mode
* [multipathd] include linux/unistd.h for _syscall2
definition on RedHat systems. Remove superfluous
asm/unistd.h include
* [libsysfs] forked : last version uses mntent, which
klibc doesn't provide. That, plus the fact we use
only 1/3 of the lib, pushed me to freeze the version
and strip all unused stuff.
* [multipathd] prepare_namespace() cleanup : no more "multipath"
special casing since we push it to binvec vector, like the
other callouts detected in the config file.
