2005-04-26[PATCH] update extras/multipathext.devoteam.varoqui@sncf.fr
patch follows : * remove the restrictive -f flag. Introduce a more generic "-m iopolicy" one. * remove useless "int with_sysfs" in env struct
2005-04-26[PATCH] more udev-016/extras/multipathchristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to udev-016/extras/multipath-0.0.16.3, * add a GROUP_BY_SERIAL flag. This should be useful for controlers that activate their spare paths on simple IO submition with a penalty. The StorageWorks HW defaults to this mode, even if the MULTIBUS mode is OK. * remove unused sg_err.c * big restructuring : split devinfo.c from main.c. Export : * void basename (char *, char *); * int get_serial (int, char *); * int get_lun_strings (char *, char *, char *, char *); * int get_evpd_wwid(char *, char *); * long get_disk_size (char *); Now we see clearly what is expected from an external package like scsi_id. * stop passing struct env as param

Maybe Joe should merge it in the device-mapper package or provide the functionnality through dmsetup ?

incremental to udev-016/extras/multipath, * don't rely on the linux symlink in the udev/klibc dir since udev build doesn't use it anymore. This corrects build breakage * remove make_dm_node fn & call. Rely on udev for this. The first patch is to be applied. The second is conditioned by udev dealing correctly with devmap names. For this I can suggest a CALLOUT rule like this : KERNEL=3D"dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM=3D"/tmp/name_devmap %M %m", NAME=3D"%k", SY= MLINK=3D"%c" With name_devmap like : #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/dmsetup ls|/bin/grep "$1, $2"|/usr/bin/awk '{print $1}'
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev-013/extras/multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to 0.0.13, * update the DM target synthax to the 2.6.0-udm5 style * update the changelog and the doc to reflect minimal requirements
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to 0.0.12-1, * check hotplug event refers to a block device; if not exit early
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
2003-12-29 multipath-012 * refresh doc * add the uninstall target in Makefile * /sbin/multipath, not /root/multipath in hotplug agent
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to 20031222-2, 2003-12-22 multipath-010 * tweak the install target in Makefile * stop passing fds as argument : this change enable a strict segregation of ugly 2.4 code * sysfs version of get_lun_strings() * be careful about the return of get_unique_id() since errors formerly caught up by if(open()) in the caller fn are now returned by get_unique_id() * send get_serial() in unused.c
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to 20031222, 2003-12-22 multipath-010 * introduce dm-simplecmd for RESUME & SUSPEND requests * split add_map() in setup_map() & dm-addmap() * setup_map() correctly submits "SUSPEND-RELOAD-RESUME or CREATE" sequences instead of the bogus "RELOAD or CREATE"
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
incremental to 20031220, 2003-12-22 multipath-010 * don't print .sg_dev if equal to .dev (2.6) in print_path() * since the kernel code handles defective paths, remove all code to cope with them : * move do_tur() to unused.c * remove .state from path struct * remove .state settings & conditionals * add a cmdline switch to force maps to failover mode, ie 1 path per priority group * add default policies to the whitelist array (spread io == MULTIBUS / io forced to 1 path == FAILOVER) * move get_disk_size() call out of add_map() to coalesce() * comment tricky coalesce() fn * bogus unsused.c file renamed to unused.c
2005-04-26[PATCH] extras multipath updatechristophe.varoqui@free.fr
An important one, against stock udev-009 : 2003-12-20 multipath-010 * big ChangeLog update * start to give a little control over target params : introduce cmdline arg -i to control polling interval * cope with hotplug-style calling convention : ie "multipath scsi $DEVPATH" ... to avoid messing with online maps not concerned by an event * example hotplug agent to drop in /etc/hotplug.d/scsi * revert the run & resched patch : unless someone proves me wrong, this was overdesigned * move commented out functions in unused.c * update multipath target params to "udm[23] style" * mp target now supports nr_path == 1, so do we * add gratuitous free() * push version forward
