No, the /dev/dm* devices are recreated every reboot.
Only the wwids in /dev/mapper/ are persistant. (/dev/disk/by-name/<wwid>)
Use them for mountpoint in the fstab.
/dev/disk/by-name/data1 /usr/sap reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
You can alias the horrible wwid by logical names in the multipath.conf.
E.g.
multipaths {
multipath
{
#mountpoint /data
wwid 360060160403219007aa7b461c917db11
alias data
}
}
This will create an link /dev/mapper/data1 -> /dev/dm-<actualNumber>
Take a look at the boot.multipath script.
*snip*
# Clear /dev/disk/by-name/ prior to start-up; multipath will
# recreate them.
rm -f /dev/disk/by-name/* 2>&1 >/dev/null
*snap*
