I'm confused on how to navigate forth and back between the /dev entries of lv's and what dm makes of it. If I craeate a lv 'work' in my vg 'datavg' I'll get a /dev entry /dev/datavg/work to work with (mount/mkfs, etc). But after mounting a 'mount' shows the same lv as /dev/mapper/datavg-work. Example: root@altair:~# lvdisplay /dev/datavg/work --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/datavg/work ... root@altair:~# mount /dev/datavg/work /work root@altair:~# mount | grep work /dev/mapper/datavg-work on /work type jfs (rw) When I now have a mounted filesystem, how can I determine reliably which is the original lv I've used ? Do I have to dissect what 'mount' shows or is there an official way to do it ?
