This seems to work:

SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ACTION=="remove", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ENV{DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG}=="1", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

KERNEL=="fd*|sr*", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

 

# Look for a zodcache superblock on the device and start it if found 

RUN+="/usr/sbin/zcstart --udev $tempnode" 

 

# Process partition tables on zodcache devices (but not components) 

ENV{DM_NAME}!="zodcache-*", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ENV{DM_NAME}=="*-origin", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ENV{DM_NAME}=="*-cache", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ENV{DM_NAME}=="*-metadata", GOTO="zodcache_end" 

ENV{ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE}=="dos", RUN+="/usr/sbin/kpartx -a $tempnode" 

 

LABEL="zodcache_end"
