multipath-tools (0.7.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium systemd support is well integrated for multipath-tools now. The old initscripts are still provided and will be supported on a best effort basis but users are advised to move to a systemd based setup -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf Sun, 07 Oct 2018 20:16:36 +0530 multipath-tools (0.5.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium The systemd support has been dropped. Device Mapper multipath is a core component in the SAN Stack. The flexibility provided by shell init scripts were flexible. With systemd, it is not the same anymore. We sure can create shell scripts and pass it to systemd to run, but then it forfeits the philosophy of systemd that "shell is evil". So rather that passing shell units to systemd, we'll let systemd run this service in SysV compatibility mode. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf Fri, 05 Sep 2014 18:03:12 +0530 multipath-tools (0.4.7-2) unstable; urgency=low udev, which provides scsi_id, moved the binary to /lib/udev. The old name will stop working in the future. The default config now uses /lib/udev/scsi_id. And you have to update /etc/multipath.conf by hand to reflect the new location. -- Bastian Blank Wed, 29 Mar 2006 12:08:32 +0200 multipath-tools (0.4.5-1) unstable; urgency=low This version removes creation of devices via udev in /dev. All device-mapper devices are created by libdevmapper in /dev/mapper. To readd the creation of devices in /dev, add the following line to the udev rules (e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules): KERNEL=="dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%c", OPTIONS+="last_rule" -- Bastian Blank Mon, 19 Sep 2005 15:03:31 +0200
