LVM + multipath
Hi folks,
I have a curiosity question about using LVM w/ multipath devices. I've
got some SAN disk on which I made a volume group, and a couple of
logical volumes. Each volume has an ext3 filesystem. I've added the
filesystems to my fstab using their UUID's.
UUID=f9b573fd-9457-4150-9007-fedbe708f866 /dbfs/db1 ext3 nodev,grpid 0 2
UUID=8909ad2b-9990-4f8d-a544-93f4781929df /dbfs/db2 ext3 nodev,grpid 0 2
What's curious is that while they mount just fine, the 'df' command
lists them inconsistently:
/dev/mapper/dbfs-db1 385G 195M 365G 1% /dbfs/db1
/dev/dm-3 385G 195M 365G 1% /dbfs/db2
Now, the /dev/dm-3 device is the same device (major/minor) as the
corresponding /dev/mapper/dbfs-db2 device, so I suppose it really
doesn't matter what df thinks they should be called, but it's
aethetically unpleasing at best.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening here?
