Dear Maintainer, dmsetup-udeb does not include any of the udev rules that come with the standard package, resulting in device nodes under /dev/mapper not being created for partitions of multipath devices. This has a knock-on effect of breaking partman-multipath, resulting in an inability to install Debian on a multipath device. In testing, adding the following files from the full package resolved the issue: /lib/udev/rules.d/55-dm.rules (as 10-dm.rules)
Control: tags -1 help Control: severity -1 normal This is expected. The udeb is not built with udev support. Someone needs to provide a patch for it. Regards, Bastian
I'd be happy to send a patch for it, though I'm not sure if there are other considerations I'm not aware of - in my testing, it was just as simple as including the rule file. If there aren't any other issues with doing that, I can have a patch ready pretty soon. (sorry about the duplicate email, I missed replying to the bug thread)
I don't know what's preferred, so I opened a merge request on Salsa with my proposed (admittedly naive) changes. Local testing on a Debian 12.1 install media appears to work fine. If you'd rather have a normal patch, I've attached one here as well.
