It looks like this is defined (as DEV_PREFIX and RDEV_PREFIX) in config/config.h based on the results of ./configure. You could add the check to the configure script or just change the values of (R)DEV_PREFIX in config.h. I'm not sure if this will break anything, so test it. > As I said, this is really just a nuisance. The client is being backed > up just fine. I just want my disklist to look nice! ;-P Well, IMO, mount points look a lit nicer than device names. They also stay consistent should the underlying hardware/config change.
