The multipath-tools FAQ has the following to say about partitioning multipath devices. >From http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/faq.html > 6. How do I partition my multipathed devices > Partition a constituant path instead. And reload the map through multipath(8) I take this to mean, for example, that one should partition /dev/sdX, rather than the corresponding coalesced /dev/mapper/... device, correct? My question is: why? Paritioning the /dev/mapper device appears to work. Is there an operational difference? I've always done this exactly as advised, but I know someone who didn't, and we're wondering if it matters.
