[mythtv-users] Logical Volume (LVM) - question

[Neale Swinnerton]

Also the device names for the device mapper devices changed recently

e.g. my devices look this this now...

/dev/mapper/media-movies

used to be something like

/dev/media/movies

where media is the volume group name.

There's some way to enable a translation layer to support the old names, 
can't remember how tho', google's your friend :-)
