Hi,
multipath-tools upstream has in the past changed the defaults a
number of times, and I think has now settled on "the best thing to
do is manually configure it, because otherwise lots of edge cases
pop up".

I finally figured out that
multipath -t >/etc/multipath.conf
generates an initial configuration which is usable, but for a
find_multipaths "strict"
which is the least friendly way of defining mappings and
practically prevents any auto-mapping (wwids need to be provided by hand).
Well, it wants you to use the `multipath` program to add a
binding/wwid. This is quite explicit, but also always works.
In my experience, once you leave the realm of test setups, its best
to have explicit configuration.
Well, at least some notes about the required manual configuration and steps
to get the wwids (e.g. hinting /lib/udev/scsi_id) and finalize the config,
or even alternative settings would be nice.
I find the README.Debian included not the most clear possible.

I'll note that this is a sample for 0.4.9, and this is very old.

That's taken from RHEL 7 documentation, I `suppose` now it is updated.
