It can be a challenge to track down what mount point on a Fedora/RHEL Linux box belongs to which physical disk partition when there are several layers of indirection including Logical Volume manager, Encrypted Disks and UUIDs. Fortunately, the computer does it for us most of the time. But when I, as a human being, needed to step in and figure it out, google came to the rescue. Here are my old notes.
cat /etc/fstab (my transcription of the info): / is /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /home is /dev/mapper/luks-625f820f-1aba-45b3-aacd-4d17dcc9240a swap is /dev/mapper/luks-a9362b00-c1c6-470f-9b5b-4e062d96ff10 cat /etc/crypttab: luks-625f820f-1aba-45b3-aacd-4d17dcc9240a UUID=625f820f-1aba-45b3-aacd-4d17dcc9240a none sudo blkid /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02: UUID="625f820f-1aba-45b3-aacd-4d17dcc9240a" TYPE="crypt_LUKS" sudo lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02' [363.09 GB] inherit sudo pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.66 GB / 0 free] Total: 1 [465.66 GB] / in use: 1 [465.66 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] sudo fdisk -l Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda2 14 60801 488279610 8e Linux LVM
I don’t like chasing down that many levels of indirection, so I normally try to simplify things on a desktop system by not using LVM.
