So, are the /dev/N1/RHEL4 things the same as whatever get mounted
as /dev/dm-3, etc above?

This is actually whats supposed to happen. We're only automounting (and
even showing in the UI) things that are mounted in /media. However, I
think something is getting confused about your fstab and not
understanding some of the device node names, thus thinking they are not
in the fstab.

Or something suchlike. David, what do you think? You know this stuff
better.
