And a new '-l' flag to list current multipath topology Full ChangeLog for the release : * [multipath] add a "-l" flag to list the current multipath maps and their status info * [priority] zalloc controler to avoid random path_count at allocation time * [multipath] add configlet pointers in struct multipath to avoid searching for an entry over and over again * [multipath] new reinstate policy : on multipath exec, reinstate all failed paths the checkers report as ready if they belong to enabled path groups (not disabled, not active path group) * [multipath] fork a print_mp() out of print_all_mp() * [multipath] introduce PG priority, which is the sum of its path priorities. Set first_pg in the map string to the highest prio PG index. * [multipath] assemble maps scaning PG top down now that PG vector is unsorted * [multipath] move select_*() to propsel.c * [multipath] move devinfo() to devinfo.c * [multipath] move h/b/t/l fetching to sysfs_devinfo() * [multipath] move devt2devname() to devinfo.c so we can use it from dmparser.c too * [multipath] introduce select_alias() and clarify a bit of code * [multipath] don't sort PG anymore. We want the map as static as possible. * [multipath] fix a segfault in apply_format() triggered when no config file found. * [multipath] kill unused vars all over the place * [multipath] add a struct pathgroup in struct multipath Store the pathvec in it. We now have a place to store PG status, etc ... * [multipath] new dmparser.c, with disassemble_map(), disassemble_status() * [multipath] suppress *selector_args keywords. Merge in the selector string. Update config file templates. As usual, doc and download at : http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/ regards, -- christophe varoqui
