FYI..

Some distros change the multipath user_friendly_names wholedisks
to be mpath[a-z]+ rather than mpath[0-9]+.

This seems intentional :) and takes away the disk-partition separator.

[...] the name of a multipath device is of the form mpathn.
For the [...] release, n is an alphabetic character,
so that the name of a multipath device might be // mpatha or mpathb. //
In previous releases, n was an integer.

It's a distro design decision.
It's an interesting conversation, but requires time, since it introduces some level of disruption on userspace.
