From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 12:49:53 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] RH: Remove the property blacklist exception builtin Multipath set the default property blacklist exceptions to (ID_SCSI_VPD|ID_WWN). This has the effect of blacklisting some internal devices. These devices may never have multiple paths, but it is nice to be able to set multipath up on them all the same. This patch simply removes the default, and makes it so that if no property blacklist_exception is given, then devices aren't failed for not matching it.
