[dm-devel] [BUG] multipath-tools: missing internal values (multipath -t)

[Christophe Varoqui]

Hi,

The config outputed should be usable, so a comment could be printed for the
keywords you suggest printing <undef> as the default for.

Example:

# no_path_retry <comment explaining the contextual default behaviour>

or simply

# no_path_retry <contextual, see man page>
