Okay!! Just needed a little reading. :-) To use an alias (a user defined alias), you need to set user_friendly_names to yes. With that, and a custom alias defined, you will see it for your map. Something like: dbug667624 (1494554000000000076646200000000000000000000000000) dm-3 IET,VIRTUAL-DISK size=1000M features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active | `- 4:0:0:0 sdg 8:96 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `- 2:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled | `- 5:0:0:0 sdh 8:112 active ready running `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=enabled `- 3:0:0:0 sdf 8:80 active ready running The config file looks like: root@debian-x86:/var/cache/pbuilder# cat /etc/multipath.conf ## ## This is a template multipath-tools configuration file ## Uncomment the lines relevent to your environment ## defaults { udev_dir /dev polling_interval 10 path_selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy multibus getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n" prio const path_checker directio rr_min_io 100 flush_on_last_del no max_fds 8192 rr_weight priorities failback immediate no_path_retry fail queue_without_daemon no *user_friendly_names yes* mode 644 uid 0 gid disk } multipaths { multipath { wwid 1494554000000000076646200000000000000000000000000 alias *dbug667624* } } I'm closing this bug report.
