"inotify_add_watch(7, /dev/sdX1, 10) failed: No such file or directory" and "error: /dev/sdX1: No such file or directory" messages

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

When booting a RHEL 7 machine with multipathd, we see these messages in journalctl. Nevertheless, 'parted' and 'lsblk' report the partitions as existing in the devices.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 + multipathd

multipathd versions:
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-85.el7_2.5
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-99.el7_3.1
