+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #802630 +++

Description of problem:

Neither manpage nor "/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9" provide any info about "hwtable_regex_match" feature introduced by Bug #744756.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-48.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No document found for "hwtable_regex_match"

  
Actual results:
No document to explain how "hwtable_regex_match" work.

Expected results:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744756#c15 could be good document for this parameter.
quote:
"hwtable_regex_match". Setting
it to "yes" will cause the user devices configs to be regex matched with the
builtin configs to determine if they should modify an existing config or create
a new one.   It defaults to "off".

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

--- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2012-07-10 19:12:38 EDT ---

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 1 Steven J. Levine 2012-09-12 19:59:22 UTC 
This bug is to ensure that we will document hwtable_regex_match if necessary in the DM Multipath manual.
Comment 3 Steven J. Levine 2012-09-27 17:35:50 UTC 
hwtable_regex_match is documented in table 4.1 of the DM-Multipath manual, so I'm closing this as current release.
