	# by 'a' to accept the path, or by 'r' to reject the path.
	# The first regex in the list to match the path is used,
	# producing the 'a' or 'r' result for the device.
	# When multiple path names exist for a block device, if any
	# path name matches an 'a' pattern before an 'r' pattern,
	# then the device is accepted. If all the path names match
	# an 'r' pattern first, then the device is rejected.
	# Unmatching path names do not affect the accept or reject
	# decision. If no path names for a device match a pattern,

	# Be careful mixing 'a' and 'r' patterns, as the combination
	# might produce unexpected results (test any changes.)
