Is it possible to have the same swap device names in RHEL 6 as the ones presented in RHEL 5?
Issue
- The command 'swapon -s' shows /dev/mapper devices in its output:
[root@rhel5 ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/vg00-swap1 partition 2031608 377632 -1
/dev/mapper/vg01-swap partition 15728632 0
- While the same command shows /dev/dm-X devices in RHEL 6:
[root@rhel6 ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/dm-0 partition 3080184 0 -1
/dev/dm-9 partition 1048568 0 -2
/dev/dm-10 partition 131064 0 -3
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
