While I was agreeing with Paul when I read his email, then I came to the conclusion that <disk>_crypt and <host>-* are two different things, so having different names is reasonable. I agree, however, that there is no reason to use 'swap_1' and that '<partition>' (not <disk>) is ugly: ===== $ ls -l /dev/mapper/ total 0 crw------T 1 root root 10, 236 May 7 15:31 control lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 7 15:31 gismo-home -> ../dm-3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 7 15:31 gismo-root -> ../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 7 15:31 gismo-swap -> ../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 7 15:31 sda2_crypt -> ../dm-0 $ ===== > Someone had a host / device name clash, and thus e.g. for LVM VG I > added to use a suffix "-vg" in ubuntu and planning to push a similar > change to debian, as otherwise unattended installations were failing > and were not exactly unattended. IIRC VG names with '-' inside are shown as '--' in /dev/mapper/ to differentiate between '-' *within* the name as '-' in VG-LV, which is quite ugly by default IMHO. > ps. hostnames are often pre-assigned by dhcp in fully automated installations. This is something you can control, either on the DHCP side or in the preseed. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
