Why auto mounting with UUID instead of multipath device in /etc/fstab does not work at the time of boot?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Server fails to boot, as it is unable to do auto-mount of the file system created on a multipath device.
  • The file system gets mounted when mount -a is executed in Dracut mode or maintenance mode.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
  • Device-Mapper-Multipath
