It's only 20GB volumes.

yes I see it.
The problem is on extended partitions. I have :
sda1 -> primary (boot)
sda2 -> primary (swap)
sda3 -> primary (root)
sda4 -> extended on all the rest of disk
- sda5 -> logical partition (usr)
- sda6 -> logical partition (var)

The first 3 partitions are ok (sda1 through sda3) but It takes sda4  
instead of sda5 and sda6 .... so It doesn't recognize sda5 and sda6.

With multipath 0.4.7-r2 (working correctly) :
