Should I use devices in /dev/mpath directly?

Issue

• Should I use devices in /dev/mpath directly ?

• When creating partitions on newly-added multipath devices, the system doesn't update those partition entries in /dev/mpath.

• There are missing partition devices in /dev/mpath:

# ls -al /dev/mpath*
