| Doc Text: |
The `kpartx` tool no longer returns before devices are created
Previously, by default the `kpartx` tool returned without waiting for devices to be created. This was a source of confusion for users who would expect the devices to exist immediately after `kpartx` returned. With this update, `kpartx` by default now waits until the devices are created before returning.
