[Bug 1468897] Re: multipath creates binding for Removable(USB) drives

This is a problem that comes from USB and (S)ATA devices showing up as
SCSI disks and the default multipath not really expecting those mixed
environments. The best way to handle this is to add blacklisting in
/etc/multipath.conf and the most flexible seems to key on vendor/product
like this:

blacklist {
        device {
                vendor  "*"
                product "*"
        }
}
blacklist_exceptions {
        device {
                vendor  "IBM"
                product "*"
        }
}

Possibly with a bit more detail in the exceptions allowing only certain
models or so...
