devmapper mount names
A basic question that I can't seem to find an answer to (maybe not so
basic?).
Using LVM and therefore devmapper, the volume names are such that they
are accessible under /dev/mapper/<PV_Name>-<LV_Name>. Likewise, these
names are used in reporting (du, df, mount, etc...). I would prefer to
have the volumes reported directly as their dev names, so
/dev/mapper/volgroup-root should be /dev/volgroup/root. The volumes are
accessible this way, and if I use those entries in fstab it works fine,
but still get reported under the /dev/mapper/* headers.
My best guess is that it has something to do with the order of the
lookup of devices, but I don't have any idea how to modify that. Is this
possible? Is there a reason not to want such a presentation?
