[dm-devel] RE: Changes hwtable.c to Support New Pillar Hardware

[Srinivas Ramani]

Hi Chris;

Extended regexp here. Can we settle on "Axiom.*" ? 

>>Yes that is fine will work.

I'm wondering : "%d" or "/dev/%n" should work as mpath_prio_alua
parameter. Does "%n" does too ?

>> Yes %n works and fixes the following bug .

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215505

215505: DM multipath devices are not created - for the luns with dev_t
minor numbers > 256


Thanks and Best Regards

Srini
