Subject: [PATCH] multipath: make devt2devname use lstat to check sysfs links
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 23:36:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130108053626.GV19059@ether.msp.redhat.com> (raw)
dm_reassign wasn't working correctly for me because devt2devname used stat()
to check if /sys/dev/block/major:minor was a symlink. But stat() never returns
a symlink. It follows it. It needs to use lstat() instead. Also, I made
multipath log a message when a dm device gets reassigned to use multipath.
