Bug#645247: multipath-tools: output from `multipath -lld' does not separate fields

[Tsouladze, Andy]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.4.8-14+lenny2

Problem description:  When runing `multipath -lld', I get the following output:

# multipath -lld
350002ac60aeb0abbdm-1 3PARdata,VV            
[size=45G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active]
 \_ 15:0:0:1 sdf 8:80  [active][ready]
 \_ 14:0:0:1 sde 8:64  [active][ready]

In this output, device name "350002ac60aeb0abb" and "dm-1" are spliced together, with no space between them.  It probably depends on the length of the device name.  This makes scripting quite difficult.

I did talk with Christophe Varoqui.  He is sure that this bug has been fixed upstream in 0.4.9, and he suggested to ask Debian maintainers to backport it to lenny.

Regards,

Andy
