Subject: RFC: Canonicalize block device paths
X-Git-Tag: v0.8.3~129
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae3275c0bb538e29eab840153ccc748cd5023cf7;p=thirdparty%2Flibvirt.git

RFC: Canonicalize block device paths

There are many naming conventions for partitions associated with a
block device.  Some of the major ones are:

/dev/foo -> /dev/foo1
/dev/foo1 -> /dev/foo1p1
/dev/mapper/foo -> /dev/mapper/foop1
/dev/disk/by-path/foo -> /dev/disk/by-path/foo-part1

The universe of possible conventions isn't clear.  Rather than trying
to understand all possible conventions, this patch divides devices
into two groups, device mapper devices and everything else.  Device
mapper devices seem always to follow the convention of device ->
devicep1; everything else is canonicalized.
