      Workaround: Instruct students to use /dev/mapper/mpatha1 as device to mount on /mnt. If students still uses the UUID and try to test multipath, nodes may loose storage connection.

      Description: On page 210, itens 6.5 and 6.6 shows how to find UUID for a filesystem and how to configure /etc/fstab to use it when mounting a multipathed device.

      This approach does not ensure you are mount it through multipath. In fact it will mount the first device with this UUID that will be /dev/sda and not the multipathed device.
