Followup-For: Bug #656067

Debian/sid still listed my rootfs twice: as "rootfs" and as the UUID device.
After setting GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub (and running
update-grub) the rootfs is still listed twice, but at least the long UUID
entry is gone from df(1):

$ df -h
[...]
rootfs          4.0G  2.3G  1.5G  61% /
/dev/sda1       4.0G  2.3G  1.5G  61% /

Now /proc/cmdline also lists /dev/sda1 instead of the UUID name:

$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro

FWIW, on Fedora 17 (grub2) rootfs is listed twice too and without the
long UUID name in df(1) output. Its kernel commandline _does_ specify
root=UUID=... though. Then again, the boot process in Fedora seems to
be very different from Debian's approach, I assume.

openSUSE 12.1 (grub 0.97) lists rootfs twice and without the long 
UUID name in df(1) output, its kernel commandline does specify
root=/dev/sdaN.

Not sure about Windows though :-)

Personally, listing rootfs twice is fine with me (especially since
"df /"  lists /dev/sdaN i.e. the real device name. But df(1) should
not list the long UUID name, IMHO.
