[dm-devel] [PATCH] kpartx.rules: skip MD devices

[mwilck at suse.com]

From: Martin Wilck <mwilck at suse.com>

With the mdadm metadata format v1.0 (and DDF), the MD superblock is at the end
of the device, keeping the partition table at the beginning. This may cause
wrong partition mappings to be created by kpartx on RAID component devices.

So far I've only seen ugly error messages, but at least in principle it can
happen that kpartx wins a race with MD, and prevents correct setup of the
MD device.

Sample error messages:

[    4.029490] systemd-udevd[445]: dm-0: '/sbin/kpartx -un -p -part /dev/dm-0'(err) 'device-mapper: reload ioctl on 3600140508dbcf02acb448188d73ec97d-part1  failed: Device or resource busy'
[    4.075666] kernel: device-mapper: table: 254:1: linear: Device lookup failed
[    4.075945] kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Skip creating partition mappings on MD components.
