[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/5] mpathpersist: fail commands when no usable paths exist

[Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>]

"mpathpersist -oCK <reservation_key> <device>" will return success if it
is run on devices with no usable paths, but nothing is actually done.
The -L command will fail, but it should give up sooner, and with a more
helpful error message.
