This reports a LUN_Z, which is what I expected after I was explained a LUN_Z is the same as a ghost report. I get this in dmesg at multipath(8): device-mapper: dm-multipath: 66:144: Error trying to initialize PG, failing path device-mapper: dm-multipath: Failing path 66:144 66:144 is, indeed, /dev/sdap.
