I can't get 'df' to report the correct device name, as /dev/???n, when I use 'df' in specific ways relating to the root directory of my current drive.  My drive is partitioned into boot, root, swap, and home parts.  When I 'df' any of the directories mounted to / (i.e, /boot or /home, or /dev/sda1 (boot part), or /dev/sda3 (home part)) I get the correct information, but not when I 'df' the root specifically either specifying / or /dev/sda2 (root part). For instance (using only the source in this example and the root):
 
df / returns (for /): /dev/disk/by-uuid/bcf1b9ae-f48f-4dd7-a633-383e03e55b9e as the Filesystem
df returns (for /): /dev/sda2 as the Filesystem
df /boot / /home returns (for /): /dev/disk/by-uuid/bcf1b9ae-f48f-4dd7-a633-383e03e55b9e as the Filesystem
df -i /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 returns (for /): udev (as the Filesystem) ... (mounted on) /dev
/dev/sda1 is mounted to /boot, /dev/sda2 is mounted to /, and /dev/sda3 is mounted to /home
 
I am running two computers and this is happening on both of them, although the device names will vary between the two, but it happens on them both when I try to 'df' the root directlry (/) with any of the options available to 'df'.  I am using a Linux distribution called Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Sorry about that. df(1) was improved in newer version of 'coreutils' to report to shortest name of the device. I'm closing this bug, but if you still experience the same problem, please reply to this thread. regards, - assaf From unknown Mon Jun 23 07:47:56 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
