Hi, I use an FC SAN, which provides multiple pathes to multiple LUNs. These all come up as different sd* devices, exhausting single letter names. I mean they are a LOT. Using the md mulitpath driver everything works perfectly, no problems there. However, during boot, the kernel tries to read the partition table from each device, spitting out hundreds of lines of error messages: most of the devices aren't even readable, and those which are, don't contain a valid partition table. They never will. So I'd like to disable partition detection, because these messages overflow the kernel message buffer, depriving syslog of gathering any useful boot messages, and also needlessly lengthening the boot process. (Of course the noise alone is disturbing enough when one tries to troubleshoot a boot problem.) However, looking at the kernel sources didn't give me any hint. Is this possible to disable at all? (Please Cc me, I'm not on the list.) -- Thanks, Feri. -- 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
