So we're able to see pretty well here everything needed except for the relationship of dm-N devices with physical and multipath devices. Something like below would probably be somewhat more helpful:

Pushing this out to rhel7.8 for now, but if this RFE won't be completed please close.
Thanks,
-Eric

Comment 19 Steve Whitehouse 2020-05-06 16:21:39 UTC

Lukas, what should we do here? Since this is tagged future feature, it is not suitable for rhel7, so should we move it to rhel8? If not then please close it, if it is not going to be done at all, or is already fixed in rhel8. In the mean time I'm clearing the blocker flag.

Comment 20 Lukáš Czerner 2020-05-06 19:13:33 UTC

Hi Steve,

Jan did some work on this before he left, but I don't have confidence in the code to push it into rhel7. Let's close it.
