In short : * compiles on IA64 * implement the alias OSDL CGL preconisation * more work on single path devices and JBOD handling Regression testing is even lighter than the previous release, because I temporarily lost access to my favorite SAN. Full ChangeLog for the release : * [multipathd] finally tame the clone compilation glitch on IA64 move from sys_clone to __clone / __clone2 * [kpartx] rework from Stephan Bader, IBM : * handle s390x arch * endianness fixes * push the partname string size to handle wwwids * quieten implicit cast warnings * [multipath] add an 'alias' multipath keyword for friendlier device names. This was "asked" by OSDL' CGL board of secret reviewers * [multipath] last pass with JBOD and parallel SCSI support : hard-code scsi_id as a fallback when disk strings doesn't match any hwtable entry * [multipath & multipathd] change the parser to not coalesce consecutive spaces (Patrick Mansfield) * [multipath] remove the [UN]: output prefix, so that stdout can be easily fed to a tool like dmsetup * [multipathd] DEBUG=3 logs more readable/usefull * [multipathd] add a multipath_tool config keyword * [multipathd] move to execute_program() like multipath already did * [multipath] don't print the "no path" msg in quiet mode * [multipathd] include linux/unistd.h for _syscall2 definition on RedHat systems. Remove superfluous asm/unistd.h include * [libsysfs] forked : last version uses mntent, which klibc doesn't provide. That, plus the fact we use only 1/3 of the lib, pushed me to freeze the version and strip all unused stuff. * [multipathd] prepare_namespace() cleanup : no more "multipath" special casing since we push it to binvec vector, like the other callouts detected in the config file.
