Description:

This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:

  • libmultipath: Ignore nvme devices if nvme native multipath is enabled (bsc#1212854)
  • libmultipath: Fix dev_loss_tmo even if not set in configuration (bsc#1212440) Note: This changes user-visible behavior. multipathd will not grab any nvme devices for dm-multipath if nvme native multipathing is on (which is the default).
