After following this post: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm- devel/2008-September/msg00235.html
I have prepended the following to /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules: #Weed out the linear map. KERNEL=="dm-*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/dmsetup table -j %M -m %m", RESULT=="*linear*", OPTIONS="last_rule" # And block devices that come from usb: ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", OPTIONS="last_rule" This prevents /dev/sdi from showing up under lsblk completely and is now missing as a block device completely: $ ls /dev/sdi* ls: cannot access /dev/sdi*: No such file or directory I think this is some progress, but not working as intended yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468897 Title: multipath creates binding for Removable(USB) drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1468897/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
