That's all nice and shiny.
Then you simply do not want to see those "partitions"
(relevant only to your initiator box)
on the target.

Try to tell multipath/udev/kpartx
to *not* "automagically" create those
device mapper "partition" mappings.

How to do that may be distribution specific.

You can manually remove those mappings using
kpartx -d /dev/mapper/mpatha

There should be some option in mutlipath conf
to disable kpartx invocation,
but I don't remember from the top of my head,
and it may not be supported on all platforms (yet).

If nothing else helps, chmod -x kpartx ;-)
