Re: LVM question: what's the difference between /dev/mapper/vg-lv and /dev/vg/lv

[yudi v <yudi.tux@gmail.com>]

       There should be none.

       Note, however, that /dev/mapper/ may contain non-LVM specials as
       well, such as cryptsetup(8) ones.

       My guess is that /dev/VG/LV may provide some sort of backwards
       compatibility, as LVM may have been implemented before Linux's
       “device mapper.”  (IIRC, there was an LVM implementation for
       HP-UX, bearing some similarity to the one currently in Linux.)

Thanks for sharing that info.
AndrewM, thanks for the prompt reply.
