Hello,
here goes multipath-tools-0.3.9
This release implements the new kernel multipath policies :
* no table reload when possible
* use of "switch_group" and "reinstate_path" DM messages instead
A much improved and informational output format too.
And a new '-l' flag to list current multipath topology
Full ChangeLog for the release :
* [multipath] add a "-l" flag to list the current
multipath maps and their status info
* [priority] zalloc controler to avoid random path_count
at allocation time
* [multipath] add configlet pointers in struct multipath
to avoid searching for an entry over and over again
* [multipath] new reinstate policy : on multipath exec,
reinstate all failed paths the checkers report as ready
if they belong to enabled path groups (not disabled, not
active path group)
* [multipath] fork a print_mp() out of print_all_mp()
* [multipath] introduce PG priority, which is the sum of
its path priorities. Set first_pg in the map string to
the highest prio PG index.
* [multipath] assemble maps scaning PG top down now that
PG vector is unsorted
* [multipath] move select_*() to propsel.c
* [multipath] move devinfo() to devinfo.c
* [multipath] move h/b/t/l fetching to sysfs_devinfo()
* [multipath] move devt2devname() to devinfo.c so we can
use it from dmparser.c too
* [multipath] introduce select_alias() and clarify a bit
of code
* [multipath] don't sort PG anymore. We want the map as
static as possible.
* [multipath] fix a segfault in apply_format() triggered
when no config file found.
* [multipath] kill unused vars all over the place
* [multipath] add a struct pathgroup in struct multipath
Store the pathvec in it. We now have a place to store
PG status, etc ...
* [multipath] new dmparser.c, with disassemble_map(),
disassemble_status()
* [multipath] suppress *selector_args keywords. Merge
in the selector string. Update config file templates.
