Amir - You missed what Mladen and Tim are pointing out.
/dev/<whatever>/dm-50 is a block device. What Mladen refers to as
"scusify", Tim shows with the output:
udev_rules_get_name: add symlink
'disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:0d.0-scsi-1:0:0:0-*part1*'
Partition the disk using parted or (deprecated) fdisk. You can make
the name available either through udev rules or via friendly names in
the multipath.conf file.
By the way - welcome back Mladen.
