Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Fix problem generating partition names for multipath device

Originally posted as an RFC: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-December/msg00200.html

I've made further adjustments/changes and actually tested in a multipath environment configured with the issue. For these patches, rather than making a "general" flag for the pool, I chose to add an attribute to the <source> 'device'. This way it was much more clear what the attribute was affecting. Additionally, it turned out that the issue was showing up for both 'user_friendly_names' and for custom 'alias' name entries in the /etc/multipath.conf file so rather than being a user_friendly_name type flag - I just chose to specific state what it was - a way to not have the partition separator flag "p" added to the generated name. Also it was a bit more difficult to describe the use of the flag especially when it was so specific to one backing store type.
