Hello, here goes multipath-tools-0.3.6 Another round of changes and bugfixes. A step further to actually use the priority framework. I'm glad to announce Patrick Caulfield agreed to take care of Debian packaging, thanks again. Thanks to LTP people too : if only I had noticed before they provide nice example of clone usage, I would have saved me a lot of headache. Still, there are bugreports left in this area. Full ChangeLog for the release : * Patrick Caulfield took over debian packaging. Showing evident expertise, his first wish is to see debian/ disappear. :) So be it. * [libmultipath] add a vector_foreach_slot macro. Still needs an iterator but saves 1 line per loop occurence and tame this UPPERCASE MACROS bad taste. * [multipathd] don't load sg anymore on multipathd startup * [multipathd] change killall for kill `cat $PIDFILE` in init script (Jaime PeÃalba & Cesar Solera) * [multipathd] the fork fallback was borked (just exiting) noticed by Jaime PeÃalba & Cesar Solera * [multipathd] try without the FLOATING_STACKS flag. Does it matter anyway ? * [multipathd] merge clone_platform.h from LTP and cover the hppa special case. * [multipath] since we will be able to create a devmap with paths too small, don't rely anymore on the first path's size blindly : verify the path is up, before assigning its size to the multipath * [priority] add a path priority fetcher to balance LU accross controlers based on the controler serial detection. Untested but provides a good example of what can be done with the priority framework. * [priority] create subdir and drop a test pp_random * [multipath] add dev_t reporting to print_path() to ease devmap decoding by humans * [multipath] change default path priority to 1 * [multipath] add wits to the sort_by_prio policy, so that sort_pathvec_by_prio() is now useless. Remove it. * [multipath] invert sort_pg_by_summed_prio sort order : highest prio leftmost * [libmultipath] add vector_del_slot * revert multipath.rules change : devmap_name still takes "major minor" and not "major:minor" as argument * Makefile refinement : you can now enter any tool directory and build from here, deps are solved As usual, doc and download at : http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/ regards, -- christophe varoqui <christophe.varoqui@xxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
