If you're trying to use coalesced SAN volumes (and I believe you said
that you are), then you want to INclude block devices under
/dev/mapper and EXclude the rest. Something like ...
filter = [ "a|/dev/mapper/.*|", "r|.*|" ]
Someone should confirm that I have the syntax correct. I can never
remember regex. :-S In a prior life, I used something like it with
consistent success.
Alternatively, this should work, but requires that the disk ID logic
presents the coalesced DM devices and not the individual paths ...
filter = [ "a|/dev/disk/by-id/.*|", "r|.*|" ]
If the coalesced -vs- path req is met, then the latter may be more to
your liking.
