This simply means that the device is not already stored in multipath's
in memory list of discovered paths. It's completely normal to see this
for your all your devices when running the multipath command.

That being said, when does the device make it into the memory list of
discovered paths ?
Immediately after multipath realizes that it's not there. In
multipathd, which uses the same code, you will see this when multipath
first spots a new device. After that, the device will be list of
discovered paths.

So running multipath -v3 multiple times and seeing the output of "not
found in pathvec" is merely informational?
