Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.9.4-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Since verison 0.9.4-1, the multipath.rules udev file is no longer included in
the Debian package. Upstream changed from shipping a static file to a
file generated at build time (multipath.rules.in), and the debian packaging
didn't account for this change. I've come up with something that works, but
it might not be the best/correct solution according to packaging policy
and such.
The missing rules file results in missing udev device properties, such as
DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH. This, at the very least, has the effect of:
1) Not skipping LVM device scanning on multipath path devices, which could
result in a failure to bring up a multipath device. (or worse --
I wouldn't be surprised if concurrently operating on a dm-multipath device
and one or more of its child devices could cause data loss, if unlucky.)
2) Not removing partition table entries for multipath child devices.
(the del-part-nodes rules apply if DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH is set.)
If you need any more information, happy to provide it!
