The appearance of that device name in /proc/mounts is a bug itself, which was fixed in initramfs-tools 0.117. (This is not a suggestion to upgrade, as that version introduced several serious bugs that are not yet fixed.) The device name should be, and is now, canonicalised to e.g. /dev/sda1. I think your patch is reasonable and worth applying anyway. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If God had intended Man to program, we'd have been born with serial I/O ports.
