How to separate this line in udev rules file

[Corey Kovacs]

I believe udev rules are processed as 'last one rules them all' and so
if you put your modified version into a file called something like
99-my-multipath.rules it will stick. The important part is the "99".


Someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think that's how it works.
