[PVE-User] DeviceMapper devices get filtered by Proxmox

[Stefan Radman]

I’ve been using LVM over iSCSI multipath [0] as an alternative to LVM over FC and it just works (even in the same cluster).

That said it would be great to have iSCSI multipath integrated into the PVE tooling and GUI.

Cheers

Stefan
