[dm-devel] multipath bug and patch

[James Shoemaker]

   If a device returns an empty string for inquiry data the current
multipath tool ignores it on reload.  I added the following patch and I can
hotplug these devices that don't return all the proper data.

diff --git a/libmultipath/util.c b/libmultipath/util.c

        return strlen(str);
 }
