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:

Kpartx will deal with logical partitions like it did in RHEL5/F-9. Logical
partition dm-devices will be build directly on top of the whole disk dm-device.
No dm-device will be built for the extended partition itself.

ChangeLog:

* Mon Jan 25 2010 Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins at redhat.com> - 0.4.9-6
- Added RHEL5-style-partitions.patch
  * Make kpartx deal with logical partitions like it did in RHEL5/F-9.
    Don't create a dm-device for the extended partition itself.
    Create the logical partitions on top of the dm-device for the whole disk.
