[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/5] libmultipath: nvme: shorter topology output

[Martin Wilck]

The nvme foreign code maps the NVMe subsys NQN to the "%n"
wildcard ("alias"). Some real-world devices use very lengthy
expressions for the subsys NQN (counted 95 characters on one
system here), making the "multipath -ll" output hardly readable
for humans. Use a shorter and more concise printout instead,
based on the WWID only.

The subsys NQN is still available via the "%n" wildcard:
"multipathd show maps format %n".
