[dm-devel] device-mapper doesn't like cciss

[christophe varoqui free fr]

Hello,

please consider the following flawed behaviour :

# echo '0 32 linear /udev/cciss!c0d0 32036160'|dmsetup create foo
device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument
Command failed
# dmesg | tail
device-mapper: error adding target to table
device-mapper: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.
device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed

same with :

echo '0 32 linear /dev/cciss/c0d0 32036160'|dmsetup create foo

should I consider this a bug ?
anyway, it bites kpartx hard : no partition mapping over cciss for now. I
suspect other devices families are concerned too.

regards,
