[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 04/20] multipath -u -i: respect entries in WWIDs file

[Martin Wilck]

Previously, if find_multipaths was set, devices listed in the WWIDs file
weren't classified as multipath members by "multipath -u -i" unless they also
met the "find_multipaths" criteria (at least two paths, or existing map with
this WWID). Now we classify all paths in the WWIDs file as multipath members, too.

The rationale for this patch is to match the logic that multipathd applies
by default (i.e. without "-n").
