Description

This testcase checks if multipathd responds with 'fail' for invalid device name. It is reported in fixed bug that multipathd responds with 'ok' for invalid device name.


How to test

1. Ensure the device-mapper-multipath package is installed 

    Execute:  dnf -y install device-mapper device-mapper-multipath
    Execute:  rpm -qa|grep multipath

2. Execute the following command to generate the configuration file: 

    Execute:  mpathconf --enable

3. Restart multipathd service 

   Execute: service multipathd restart

4. kpartx called with invalid options / 

   Execute: kpartx -l /

5. sleep 1 second 

   Execute: sleep 1

6. check dmesg if there is segmentation fault 

   Execute:dmesg | grep segfault

Expected Results

  1. no Segmentation fault, kpartx no longer crashes when called with invalid options.
