Yeah... by asking the builtin for the physical path, I could see
mount -p showing you the physical path. But wouldn't
that be "/dev/dm-x"? Where is it coming up with /dev/mapper/<mangledname>?
It's not the link the user gave, and it's not the real device, seems like
those are "dm" internal names?
maybe mount -d? for those?
or put all of them under 1 mountop -D{d|p|s}?
