Difference in naming of hard drive partitions
On my Debian unstable machine, my /etc/fstab has entries of the form
/dev/hdc3 to mount partitions.
Using the df command, these mounts are shown as /dev/hdc3 etc
On my Debian Sarge machine my /etc/fstab has similar entries, but when I
issue the df command, I get mounts listed of the form
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part3
Desipte devices of the form /dev/hdc3 existing.
I have run devfsd on this machine in the past, although I no longer do.
It appears that df is just outputing what it sees in /etc/mtab. But why
does /etc/mtab show these differences. Is there a missing package to
install?
Secondly, on BOTH machines I use lvm2. On both machines mounted logical
devices of the form /dev/vg/xxx show on the df output as /dev/mapper/vg-xxx
Is there anyway of making this show in the way I expect (ie /dev/vg/xxx)?
