Hello,
here goes multipath-tools-0.3.0
Faster release cycle.
Big things for some people out there.
Upgrade will need you to manualy remove your /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules
and kill your devmap_name rule in udev.rules (we use a separate rules.d file
now)
In short :
* easy multipath-aware initrds on Debian SID
* fully fonctionnal with direct-attached SCSI disks (single-path)
Full ChangeLog for the release :
* first cut at making scripts to create multipath-aware initrds
those scripts are tested on Debian SID, and must be copied into
/etc/mkinitrd/scripts. it works here.
* [multipath] verify presence of the /sys/block/... node before
reading sysfs attributes. Avoids libsysfs and scsi_id stderr
garbage
* [multipath] move down the stderr close (Ake Sandgren at umu.se)
* [multipath] don't care about 0-sized mp (Ake Sandgren at umu.se)
* [multipath] bump mp size field to ulong (Ake Sandgren at umu.se)
* [multipath] replace quiet/verbose flags by a verbosity one.
introduce a new verbosity level : 1 == print only devmap names
thus we can feed kpartx with that output
* [multipath] update man page to reflect the hotplug.d -> dev.d
transition and replace the obsolete group_by_tur policy by the
forgotten group_by_prio
* [multipath] provide a /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules for
multipath devices naming. Cleaner than the previously suggested
rule addition in the main udev.rules
* [multipath] move out of hotplug.d to dev.d : kill synchronisation
problems between device node creation and multipath execution.
Incidentally the unfriendly $DEVPATH param become a friendly
$DEVNAME (simply /dev/sdb)
* [multipath] rework the iopolicies name-to-id & id-to-name
translations. kills the last compilation warning here too
* [kpartx] kill last compilation warnings
* bump klibc to 0.181
* add the debian/ packaging dir (make deb)
* prototype __clone & __clone2 (kills compilation warning)
