    Description:

    This update for lvm2 and device-mapper provides the following fixes and
    enhancements:

    - If the disk is unavailable we need to import the existing ID_FS_XXX
    variables from the udev database, otherwise the filesystem UUID won't be
    set and the by-uuid symlinks will disappear, leading to intermittent
    boot failures. (bsc#909358)

    - Do not attempt to unmount all volumes if only one path has failed.
    (bsc#932300)

    - Add patches for multipath support to device-mapper. (bsc#922905)

    - LVM2 does not support unpartitioned DASD device which has special format
    in the first 2 tracks and will silently discard LVM2 label information
    written to it by pvcreate. Mark this type of device as unsupported.
    (bsc#894202)

    - Properly enable lvm2-lvmetad.socket in the package's pre and post-
    installation scripts. (bsc#908791)

    - Set silent mode to 0 by default, otherwise some commands will have no
    output. (bsc#888798, bsc#912499)
