Hi,

I've got entries in my /etc/fstab file so that I can mount from a SAN. An example of an entry in the fstab file would be something like

/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-4004c58000496cbe000002497279036c /mydir ext3 noauto,acl,user_xattr 1 0

Previously, in SP1, when I mounted using the SCSI id above, the entry in the /proc/mounts was

mynode:/ # mount /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-4004c58000496cbe000002497279036c /mydirmynode:/ # cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-4004c58000496cbe000002497279036c /enterprise ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0

whereas now, with SP2 I'm seeing

mynode:/ # mount /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-4004c58000496cbe000002497279036c /mydir
mynode:/ # cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/sdc /mydir ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0

Any idea why the entry in the /proc/mounts file is different? And is there a way to explicitly return the SCSI identifier, rather than the block id?


Thanks very much.
