[Bug 737027] Re: kpartx udev rule is broken

[Phillip Susi]

The broken rules have been removed upstream and should be merged down
into debian and ubuntu before long.  dmraid will continue to handle the
partitions itself because if it doesn't, it is unable to deactivate the
array.

Title:
  kpartx udev rule is broken

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

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.
