[Bug 737027] Re: kpartx udev rule is broken

[John Center]

Has there been any additional work done on this?  This bug has affected
me also, because of the point raised in comment #9 about using dmraid
with GPT partitions.  Will this be resolved for 11.10?  Thanks.  -John

Title:
  kpartx udev rule is broken

Status in “dmraid” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “multipath-tools” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: multipath-tools

  The kpartx udev rule looks like this:

  ENV{DM_STATE}=="ACTIVE", ENV{DM_UUID}=="dmraid-*", \
          RUN+="/sbin/kpartx -a -p -part /dev/$kernel"

  This kpartx command should not be run because dmraid already creates
  the partition device, but it isn't run anyhow because the rule matches
  on "dmraid-*" but dmraid devices have an id of the form "DMRAID-*".
  Note the difference in case.
