dmsetup in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 does not report UUIDs for partitions on multipath devices
Issue

In RHEL 6,
dmsetupdoes not appear to be reporting theUUIDfor the partitions of multipath devices. The multpath device itself still reports aUUIDofmpath-<WWID>. -
With Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.,
dmsetupreports aUUIDfor partitions on multipath devices in the form:part<partition_number>-mpath-<WWID>. For example:# dmsetup info -c -o uuid
