If you have time, then sure. It belongs in the manual. I have added this parameter to all three configuration option tables of the document, with this description: skip_kpartx If set to <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>kpartx</literal> will not automatically create partitions on the device. This allows users to create a multipath device without creating partitions, even if the device has a partition table. The default value of this option is <literal>no</literal>. I will clone this for 6.9. |
