Issue

• After creating the partition on multipath device using steps described in article - 25692, it was found that some of the paths to multipath device does not show newly created partition:
• For example: A partition is created on following multipath device mpatha, but only one of the four paths are showing newly created partition:

mpatha (360050768018763876478326478231757) dm-21 IBM,2145
size=105G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw

  |- 1:0:0:22 sdw  65:96  active ready running

• Rest of the paths viz. /dev/sdck, /dev/sdw, /dev/sdbk does not show above first partition even after running partprobe or partx commands:

$ parted /dev/sdck print
Error: /dev/sdck: unrecognised disk label
$ parted /dev/sdw print
Error: /dev/sdw: unrecognised disk label
$ parted /dev/sdbk print
Error: /dev/sdbk: unrecognised disk label

$ partprobe /dev/sdck
$ partprobe /dev/sdw
$ partprobe /dev/sdbk

$ parted /dev/sdck print
Error: /dev/sdck: unrecognised disk label
$ parted /dev/sdw print
Error: /dev/sdw: unrecognised disk label
$ parted /dev/sdbk print
Error: /dev/sdbk: unrecognised disk label

• Note: After a reboot all paths shows the first partition in parted /dev/sdX print command output.
