[dm-devel] Configuring multipath for root device

[Pradipmaya Maharana]

I followed the instruction for SLES, that is, while installing,
selected the option for mounting the device by "device id" but after
reboot mount, fstab shows device names, like /dev/sda2, etc.
What am I missing.

Regards,
Pradipmaya.
