Hi,
I would like to mount multipath volumes with /etc/fstab.
I have storage attached to my Debian server with redundant paths.
There are 3 volumes and 2 possible paths to each.

Finally I took a work around method and I mount it by an entry in /etc/rc.local:
mount /dev/mapper/3600c0ff00010b3e0a1e32d4d02000000-part1 /backup
which actually works but I would rather do it by /etc/fstab, tho.
Could you please tell me why device-mapper can't "get device done"?
Don't know the answer to that, but what if you add a label to the file
system with the appropriate tool and then in your fstab have an entry like:
LABEL=REALLY_BIG_FS /backup ext4 defaults blah blah
It occurs to me, though, that the problem might be that multipath isn't
completely running when the boot process reads /etc/fstab.
