libfdisk: Fix multipath partition seperators for user-friendly names
The current code assumes "-part" is the only partition sepereator but this is not true for some distros. For example in Ubuntu 18.04 fdisk does not print the correct names for mpatha: ~# ls -l /dev/mapper/mpatha* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 1 04:39 /dev/mapper/mpatha -> ../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 1 04:38 /dev/mapper/mpatha1 -> ../dm-4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 1 04:38 /dev/mapper/mpatha2 -> ../dm-5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 1 04:38 /dev/mapper/mpatha3 -> ../dm-6 ~# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/mpatha Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/mapper/mpatha-part1 2048 419432447 419430400 200G 83 Linux /dev/mapper/mpatha-part2 419432448 838862847 419430400 200G 83 Linux /dev/mapper/mpatha-part3 838862848 1258291199 419428352 200G 83 Linux Instead of assuming a partition seperator of "-part" this patch uses access to check the file system for a partition seperator of "p" or the absense of a partition seperator. If neither of these work the patch defaults to "-part" like we had before this patch.
