This isn't needed anymore as this was merged with Debian by Steve: ---- multipath-tools (0.8.3-1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - Stop producing udebs on i386 where we no longer have d-i or a kernel. - Fix debian/rules to not explode when building without udebs on i386. - Don't build the multipath-tools binary package on i386; we only want kpartx. - d/control: - multipath-udeb: add sg3-udeb Depends - d/rules: Move udev rules to priority 95, because rules that load modules should be >90. - d/multipath-tools.preinst: modprobe dm-multipath; This will make sure that multipathd will be able to start. - Split kpartx initramfs bits into kpartx-boot for dmraid (LP 941874) - d/initramfs/kpartx.hook - d/kpartx-boot.postinst - d/kpartx-boot.postrm - d/control: Add kpartx-boot package for dmraid - d/rules: Install kpartx initramfs hook - d/kpartx.install: install all arch /lib* kpartx udev rules - patches to multipath source - d/p/1000--set-umask-in-multipathd.patch: Set umask in multipathd. - d/p/kpartx_more_loopback_fixes.patch: fix loopback mounted files some more: since we stat() the loopback device node, we can't rely on S_ISREG() tests to handle this case, and should look at the device itself instead. (LP 1543430) - d/p/enable-find-multipaths.patch: re-enable find_multipaths by default -- see the removed 'add_find-multipaths.patch' (LP 1463046) - multipath initramfs fixes for booting from multipathed devices - d/initramfs/hooks: also copy wwids file on the installed system to ensure all paths come up on boot. (LP 1479929) - d/initramfs/hooks: install multipathd and required directories. - d/initramfs/hooks: copy multipath udev rules to initramfs - d/initramfs/hooks: do not copy kpartx rules to initramfs - d/initramfs/local-bottom: remember to stop multipathd. - d/initramfs/local-premount: wait for udev to settle before the call to resolve_device() in local_mount_root(), so the by-uuid/ symlinks have a chance to be updated by the multipath udev rules (LP 1503286). - d/initramfs/local-premount: Run multipath with -B so not to assign names nor change /etc/multipath/bindings during initramfs (LP 1561103) - d/rules: install d/initramfs/local-bottom - d/rules: install d/initramfs/local-premount - Disable -fexceptions on multipath-udeb (LP 1489379): the flag causes libchecktur.so to link with libgcc_s.so.1 (even with -static-libgcc), which is not available in the installer environment. - d/p/disable-fexceptions-udeb.patch: conditionally disable -fexceptions with CFLAGS_DISABLE_FEXCEPTIONS. - d/rules: set CFLAGS_DISABLE_FEXCEPTIONS to build multipath-udeb. - d/p/disable-fexceptions-udeb.patch: conditionally disable -fexceptions with CFLAGS_DISABLE_FEXCEPTIONS. - d/rules: set CFLAGS_DISABLE_FEXCEPTIONS to build multipath-udeb. - Remove d/initramfs/local-top (redundant with other initramfs scripts): - init-top: take over loading modules (dm-multipath and SCSI device handlers); move the missing dm-emc there (now scsi-dh-emc; see BTS 567014). - d/rules: do not install local-top anymore. - remove d/initramfs/local-top - Fixes typo in package description (availibility -> availability) (LP 1231182) - debian/initramfs/local-bottom: wait for the multipathd unix socket to close, so to avoid multipathd.socket unit failure. (LP 1682178) - debian/initramfs/hooks: Add dm-queue-length: users may want to change from the default selector and should be able to do so. (LP 1673350) - d/p/kpartx-Improve-finding-loopback-device-by-file.patch: Improve finding loopback devices (LP 1747044) - d/p/kpartx-print-loop-deleted-to-stdout-not-stderr.patch: Print loop deleted message to stdout again, not stderr; to fix autopkgtest - Install friendly names multipath.conf by default, instead of generating it in every installer. - Use stable wwn-* names in autopkgtest that work with or without friendly names, as scsi-${DM_NAME} is not a stable symlink name. - Do not attempt to start multipath-tools in containers, should switch for on-demand udev/socket based activation in the future. LP 1823093 - Adjust initramfs integration for new udev rules ---- I'll run my tests in his upload, its pretty much the same anyways.
