Description Tom Dale 2022-02-21 14:34:10 UTC 
Document URL: 
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/storage/persistent_storage/persistent-storage-local.html#local-volume-cr_persistent-storage-local

Section Number and Name: 
Provisioning local volumes by using the Local Storage Operator
Procedure #1


Describe the issue: 
The documentation currently states "Replace this value with your actual local disks filepath to the LocalVolume resource, such as dev/disk/by-id/wwn" .

In practice /dev/disk/by-id/* seems to be the only supported persistent path. /dev/disk/by-path behaves incorrectly as seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052618 .

Suggestions for improvement: 
Rephrase above quoted section, or add a note specifying which paths are supported by LSO, and which should not be used as they will actually be changed to the kernel assigned device name.
