At least with the df which ships with Debian Testing, df will display
the file system in use if it matches the device name which is
/etc/mtab. It looks the issue is that mount is canonicalizing the
device name to be the human friendly version:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 16 15:15 /dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch -> ../dm-7
<tytso.root@closure> {/home/tytso/bin}, level 2
# mount /dev/dm-7 /u2
# df /u2
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch 52403200 224772 52178428 1% /u2
# grep /u2 /etc/mtab
/dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch /u2 xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0
So the simplest solution is to just use /dev/mapper/mpatha instead of
insisting on using /dev/dm-0. That's what I do....
