HI OK, I do understand you point, but my problem is that I have been hired as a cunsultant to set up PXE boot with preseed to install different linux dists, and I can not put a wwid that I don't know into the preseed file, but have to use the friendly name.
This works fine with ubuntu, but not with debian, because you wont apply the patch. For jessie I had to create 2 custom udebs, and It seems to be the same waste of time is needed for stretch. I really dont understand why multipath is part of the debian installer when it is a well known fact that the disk-detect, multipath and partman-multipath udebs can not work together.
