** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu Trusty)
Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl)
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Systems with more than 26 multipath disks will see the underlying disks
listed rather than included under the multipath device (which is a separate
entry in the list). This affects any user trying to install on a system with
more than 26 multipath disks.
+
+ [Test case]
+ Install Ubuntu using d-i on a system with more than 26 multipathed disks.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Limited to multipath. This simply folds two spaces into one and accounts for
extra spaces in the output of multipath -l when there are more than 26 disks
(ie. when you start to see sdaa#), by adjusting the regular expression.
+

On top of the fix in LP: #1430074, there's a minor bit missing.
It doesn't hide all underlying disks in the partitioning dialog if
there's 26+ underlying disks (i.e., enough for sdaa and so on to show
up).
It happens because, in that case, 'multipath -l' now puts 2 spaces
betweek disk and major:minor for the sd[a-z] disks, and only 1 space for
sd[a-z][a-z].
Patch attached.
