device-mapper creates the /dev/dm-? names, I doubt you could get rid of them. LVM names are persistent, maybe instead of mount-by-label you could change to mount the persistent /dev/VGname/LVname's -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

I use kernel 2.6.22 and debian etch. If I create a vg and some volumes in it I get the /dev/dm-? and /dev/mapper/<vg>-<lv> devices nodes. If I try to mount the filesystem via label, sometimes /dev/dm-? and sometimes /dev/mapper/<vg>-<lv> gets mounted. That is the cause of some later errors in my setup. The question is: how can I get rid of the dm-? (e.g. they should not be created at all) oder how do I the mount to stick to the /dev/mapper/... files?
