[dm-devel] multipath disk size

[Arsene Gschwind]

Hello Christophe,

I've applied the patchs editing by hand.
Doing tests after applied the first Patch results in an empty serial 
printout, but the volume size returned is korrekt and the multipath 
driver works fine.
Doing tests after applied the second Patch results with a correct serial 
printout and correct volume size.
It seems that this 2 patches resolved my issue, thanks a lot.

Are you going to release a new tarball version which includes this 2 
patches?

Thanks a lot et "Joyeuse Pâques" avec beaucoup de chocolat :-)
