Hi,
I've just applied the workaround you suggested and I see that it works.
Thank you.

Hello,
This is a problem with our init scripts that will be fixed in U3. The
change is
to make kpartx run for every multipathed device like so
/sbin/dmsetup ls --target multipath --exec "/sbin/kpartx -a"
this is put in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit right after we load the dm-multipath
module.
Thank you,
Josef
