Mounting by label with multiple paths works quite well in red Hat. All you need
to do is create an /etc/fstab.order file with all of your devices listed. Check
out this snippet from the mount manpage.
DUPLICATE LABELS
mount includes support for systems where same partition is shared
between different devices (e.g. multipath kernel drivers). In particular case
when mounting device by LABEL, mount command reports problem with duplicate
labels. You can define priority of devices in file /etc/fstab.order as simple
list of devices (with full pathname for the devices). The devices listed
in this file have greater priority than other devices. Devices in
configuration file have descending priority.

Yes, I've worked with ( not installed ) several storage systems ( IBM
FastT, HP, EMC...) and will never understand why powerpath do the things
in this way. I think that is really stupid and must have an important
reason to present devices as it do, or emc technicians in my country
doesn't know very good the product.
