[dm-devel] [PATCH] Remove devices from sysfs cache

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi Christophe,

whenever a device is finally removed from a multipath map we should also remove it from the sysfs cache. Otherwise we'll hogging up memory with multipathd. And we might rely on wrong information as the device in the sysfs cache might in fact be a different device if the system decided to assign the same number to a different device or if some values have changed.

Please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes
