Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntfs-3g
mount -t ntfs /dev/mapper/foo /mnt results in mount/mtab showing /dev/dm-N being mounted in /mnt instead of /dev/mapper/foo. This means that later, when you try to umount /dev/mapper/foo, it fails saying that is not mounted because mount can not find /dev/mapper/foo in mtab. Mounting other filesystems on devmapper devices do not canonicalize the name like this, and so neither should ntfs-3g
