      Description of problem:

      Currently all block devices found in /sys/block are scanned, which makes the creation of the ReaR recovery be super slow when having tons of multipath devices.
      I'm proposing to backport PR https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2597 to avoid the scan.

      On some systems, it saves up to 40 minutes!

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      rear-2.4 / rear-2.6

      How reproducible:
