[Bug 737027] Re: kpartx udev rule is broken

[John Center]

While there is no explanation, the man page for dmraid has this:

dmraid {-a|--activate} {y|n|yes|no}
[-d|--debug]... [-v|--verbose]... [-i|--ignorelocking]
[-f|--format FORMAT[,FORMAT...]]
[{-P|--partchar} CHAR]
[-p|--no_partitions]
[--separator SEPARATOR]
[-t|--test]
[RAID-set...]

I think you would want to use -p or --no_partitions.

Title:
  kpartx udev rule is broken

Status in “dmraid” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
