The following example uses kpartx to set the device name partition number delimiter:
# kpartx -a -p p /dev/mapper/360002ac00000000000000265000185db
dev/mapper/360002ac00000000000000265000185dbp1: mknod for
360002ac00000000000000265000185dbp1 failed: File exists
In the preceding example, ignore the message failed: File exists. The command merely places or
changes the partition delimiter character from possibly coming up as only a “1”.
If the value were to come up as a “1” and the partition name delimiter value was not set, and then
the host was rebooted, the partition might then change to a value of “P1”, causing issues with any
mounts to that specific LUN.
