Bug#806900: partman-multipath: issue remains in Debian 12
Source: partman-multipath
Version: 7
Followup-For: Bug #806900
X-Debbugs-Cc: jarl.gullberg@algiz.nu
Dear Maintainer,
This issue remains a blocker for multipath installations in Debian 12.
In some
experimentation on my end, the proposed patchset works fine and resolves the
issue. I would advocate for extending the regex to include a-z instead of
replacing the 0-9 detection so we retain backwards compatibility, but at its
core it works fine.
partman does detect any partitions on the multipath device as LVM LVs,
though,
but that's likely an issue in partman's LVM code and not here. If
there's a way
to explicitly tag a device as ignored or filtered out, though, that
might be
a workable solution here in partman-multipath.
The problem with the bindings file is technically a separate problem,
too, and
the path to the file can actually be detected at runtime using
"multipath -t",
grepping for the "bindings_file" parameter. I'd suggest we split this
issue up
into two reports and handle that separately.
I've got patches prepped for both cases if desired.
Finally, even with this patchset, multipath support is currently broken
because
of missing udev rules in dmsetup-udeb, multipath-udeb and kpartx-udeb.
