Apart from the prio, the differences between jessie multipath is that
in jessie all path are active (and hwhandler is '0'), while in stretch
hwhandler is 'ALUA' and only two path are active.

Looking at SCSI path seems al correct: the path active are exactly the
path where the volume in the SAN reside.
Looking at code (git master branch) of multipath-tools seems that
hardware get correctly identified.

So, probably is really the right thing.


But also, i've noted that for some strange mean the blacklist in multipath
does not work as expected. I've:

	blacklist {
	        wwid .*
	}

but still i've log full of:

	Jan  7 09:55:20 ashpool multipathd[470]: sda: spurious uevent, path not found

where SDA is:
