After configuring multipath access to a LU, I partitioned it with fdisk. fdisk complained about failing to re-read the partition table, blockdev --rereadpt failed as well. No new devices were created for the new partitions. I guess there are udev rules to do that, are there? How do I get the partition to become available, what should be the partitions device names in /dev?
man kpartx "This tool, derived from util-linux' partx, reads partition tables on specified device and create device maps over partitions segments detected. It is called from hotplug upon device maps creation and deletion." More info in www.linuxsymposium.org/2005/linuxsymposium_procv1.pdf search kpartx, or see page 166 ( "p158" ) David G.M.
