If I look at by-uuid i only get my "real" scsi device:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul  2 08:49 
efd01d87-9b04-4d65-976c-cea045f51137 -> ../../sda1
Also for the by-id:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul  2 08:49 
efd01d87-9b04-4d65-976c-cea045f51137 -> ../../sda1
And for the path there is my iscsi entry:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul  2 08:50 
ip-172.16.10.70:3260-iscsi-iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:storage.mysql-part1 -> 
../../sda1
But it is also linked to sda1 ... Problem is that udev doesn't seem to 
create a "new" block device like sdb...
Any ideas?

Thanks, Lino
