You have been subscribed to a public bug by Robie Basak (racb): Ubuntu ships an older version of multipath-tools (i.e., the userspace multipath support; kernelspace multipath support is the device-mapper's multipath target, which is as recent as their kernel is, so not a problem).
Some test teams already hit enough issues with fixes upstream to demonstrate that point. Going forward, it's very interesting to ship something more recent in Ubuntu, so to alleviate the number of bugs (likely with severity of block and ship) that we will have to debug/understand/interlock/backport/submit/upload to get fixed... The point is fixing multipath-tools once - in a big step - rather than N times. Canononical currently pull multipath from Debian, which is multipath-tools 0.5.0, and upstream is around 144 patches/commits *ahead* of. This is more than enough fixes/reasons to move to it, rather than stay on 0.5.0. (upstream is basically the SLES level; as [email protected] drives upstream nowadays) This is why this is being opened as feature request. I am wondering if Canonical see any objection to upgrading Ubuntu's multipath packages to a more recent version? ** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) Status: In Progress ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bot-comment bugnameltc-125193 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1510 upgrade-software-version -- Multipath: upgrade multipath-tools to upstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
