| Doc Text: |
When upgrading, the Hypervisor would sometimes fail to find the root partition correctly. This was due to findfs commands occasionally returning pointers to /dev/dm-* devices instead of /dev/mapper/<wwid> devices. The output from findfs is now run through a translation function that will resolve devices to a location under /dev/mapper in all cases.
