This is working correctly. Marking as verification-done. After partitioning with parted, there's only one device node for the partition (with the -part disk-partition separator).
There's /still/ some messages in parted mentioning it could not find the device, but the partitions are created correctly -- note those messages were already present in the original bug report, so this is not a regression. # multipath -l mpath1 mpath1 (0QEMU QEMU HARDDISK trustytest) dm-0 QEMU ,QEMU HARDDISK size=8.0G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active | `- 0:0:3:0 sdf 8:80 active undef running `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled `- 0:0:2:0 sde 8:64 active undef running # ls -l /dev/mapper/mpath1* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 0 Feb 9 10:55 /dev/mapper/mpath1 # parted /dev/mapper/mpath1 GNU Parted 2.3 Using /dev/mapper/mpath1 Welcome to GNU Parted!
