reading your output again i noticed you partitioned the luns on the HDS
(hope at least you aligned the partition)
but i fail to see the partitioned multipath luns in /dev/mapper
rereading again i see a "livecd" prompt
are you by chance using systemrescuecd (gentoo based)? i tried it once and it did not
run kpartix on /dev/mapper.
you should check your udev rules and see why kpartx is not called and
partitions are not created
