[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] multipath-tools: fixes for kpartx.rules and skip_kpartx

[mwilck at suse.com]

From: Martin Wilck <mwilck at suse.com>

Hi Christophe, Ben,

The "skip_kpartx" option serves to prevent creation of partitions on
top of multipath devices where that's undesired, e.g. on VM hosts which are
supposed to provide the unpartitioned dm devices to guests. This is broken
with our current udev rules, because partition creation is only suppressed
on "primary" uevents, and not on "sporadic" ones.

This series fixes the issue. It replaces my previous patch "kpartx.rules: 
check for skip_kpartx if DM_ACTIVATION is unset", which turned out to be
insufficient.

Regards,
Martin
