This is done by udev. Is udev otherwise working properly. If you partition the underlying device, do dm devices get created for the partitions by kpartx? Also, since the /dev/mapper device nodes exist as soon as the device is created, and the /dev/mpath symlinks don't get created until udev gets around to it, you are usually better off simply using the /dev/mapper names anyways. -Ben > > > Thanks, > > Paul > -- > dm-devel mailing list > dm-devel@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
