Because /dev/vg/vol is just a symlink to /dev/mapper/vg-vol, and mount dereferences it and uses the authoritative name when it actually mounts it. It can be rather confusing to have an fstab full of /dev/vg/foo but then see /dev/mapper/vg-foo listed by mount, it does tend to make one think they should just use /dev/mapper paths directly. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
