What were you trying to do that didn't work?

As per https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2354631, when the device name ends with a letter, the partition ID is immediately appended, without adding a p separator.

Examples:

• no issue with "mpatha"
• issue with wwid ending with a letter, or friendly name "mydisk"

Upstream PR is https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3329

What is the impact of this issue to you?

Cannot restore multipath devices with WWID or friendly name ending with a letter.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

All ReaR releases

How reproducible is this bug?:

Always with multipath disks, assuming the SCSI disk ID is modified on purpose.
