[dm-devel] bindings file; rename WWID to mpath alias

["Victoria A Smith" <vasmith sandia gov>]

After a system crash I have filesystem access problems when
the multipathd service is started.  I noticed in the messages file
and in output from multipath -ll that an alias is not being
used:

messages:  [...] rename 350002ac002c506cc to mpath18

# multipath -ll
[...]
350002ac002c506cc dm-12 3PARdata,VV

# ls -1 /dev/mpath/
350002ac002c506cc
mpath10
[...]


The bindings file has:
[...]
mpath18 350002ac002c506cc


Can the apparent failure of the alias-to-WWID mapping cause any problems?
