#853 PR merged: Ignoring block device which are part of a multipath device.¶

20_partition_layout.shgets partition size from /sys/block filesystem
for every hdX or sdX device.
But if the block device $blockd is a path of a multipath device,
partition and size information does not exist anymore in /sys/block
which stop the script with the following message:
"ERROR: BUG BUG BUG! Could not determine size of disk sdb/sdb2, please file a bug.
=== Issue report === Please report this unexpected issue at: https://github.com/rear/rear/issues Also include the relevant bits from /var/log/rear/rear-XXXXXXXX.log.lockless"
To avoid this situation, I propose to test if the sdX or hdX ($blockd)
is part of a multipath device.
If yes, we ignore it because it will be handled by
28_multipath_layout script (real multipath device dm-X will be
treated further by multipath scripts).
