Summary     : Tools to manage multipath devices using device-mapper
Description :
device-mapper-multipath provides tools to manage multipath devices by
instructing the device-mapper multipath kernel module what to do.
The tools are :
* multipath - Scan the system for multipath devices and assemble them.
* multipathd - Detects when paths fail and execs multipath to update things.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

multipathd and kpartx now flag device-mapper to skip failback device creation, so that udev will always create the devices. Also, some missing documentation has been added.
Add detect_prio and fix netapp default configuration so that it autoconfigures ALUA and non-ALUA devices
