From: Zhou Zheng Sheng <zhshzhou(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; When creating a logical storage pool Kimci ignores multipath block devices. This is on purpose because at the time the kimchi.disks was implemented, there was not enough time to test every kind of devices. This patch adds the missing support for multipath block devices. After this patch, the kimchi.disks will include multipath devices in the available partition list. The front-end code is also changed accordingly. v2 Use the major device number to determine if a deivce is a multipath one. Use indexOf of the array object to determine if an element is in array.
