i have multipath device /dev/dm-2

# multipath -l
mpath0 (3600c0ff00012bb4eed6bd34e01000000) dm-2 HP,P2000 G3 FC
[size=4.4T][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active]
 \_ 3:0:0:0 sda 8:0   [active][undef]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ 3:0:1:0 sdb 8:16  [active][undef]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ 5:0:0:0 sdc 8:32  [active][undef]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ 5:0:1:0 sdd 8:48  [active][undef]

when i create partitions with parted on /dev/dm-2 (or /dev/sdX), and run partprobe. New block devices are created in the /dev/mapper/ : /dev/mapper/dm2-pX

is it possible to do so, they were created in the folder /dev/ ?

need: /dev/dm2-pX

PS.

# egrep "^[^#]" /etc/multipath.conf 
blacklist {
}
defaults {
    user_friendly_names yes
}

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

You could change the namespace where multipath creates it's device, it's well documented. The question is, why would you want to? Any application that depends on custom locations it just asking to be broken.
