Difference in naming of hard drive partitions

[Alan Chandler]

On my Debian unstable machine, my /etc/fstab has entries of the form 
/dev/hdc3 to mount partitions. 

Using the df command, these mounts are shown as /dev/hdc3 etc 

On my Debian Sarge machine my /etc/fstab has similar entries, but when I 
issue the df command, I get mounts listed of the form 

/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part3 

Desipte devices of the form /dev/hdc3 existing. 

I have run devfsd on this machine in the past, although I no longer do. 

It appears that df is just outputing what it sees in /etc/mtab.  But why 
does /etc/mtab show these differences. Is there a missing package to 
install? 

Secondly, on BOTH machines I use lvm2.  On both machines mounted logical 
devices of the form /dev/vg/xxx show on the df output as /dev/mapper/vg-xxx 

Is there anyway of making this show in the way I expect (ie /dev/vg/xxx)?
