Why do I see double hyphens (dashes) in my Logical volume name ?
Issue
Creating a "VG" named volume-group and "LV" named logical-volume, ends up with with this entry:
# ls -al /dev/mapper/
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 21 12:16 volume--group-logical--volume
The names contain double hyphens instead of one .
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- device-mapper managed Logical volumes
