[dm-devel] [LSF/MM TOPIC][LSF/MM ATTEND] multipath redesign

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi all,

I'd like to attend LSF/MM this year, and would like to discuss a
redesign of the multipath handling.

With recent kernels we've got quite some functionality required for
multipathing already implemented, making some design decisions of the
original multipath-tools implementation quite pointless.

I'm working on a proof-of-concept implementation which just uses a
simple configfs interface and doesn't require a daemon altogether.

At LSF/MM I'd like to discuss how to move forward here, and whether we'd
like to stay with the current device-mapper integration or move away
from that towards a stand-alone implementation.

Cheers,

Hannes
