Bug Description
Binary package hint: mountall
When installed from CD, ubuntu will create /dev/mapper/... entries in /etc/fstab for lvm volumes.
During a release upgrade, these are converted to UUID entries.
- This is not a good idea. Snapshots have the same UUID values as their parent. On Lucid beta2, I noticed that sometimes these snapshots are mounted instead of their parent!
- This is not consistent with 'fresh' installs.
- /dev/mapper/

I replicated this behaviour on a recent karmic->lucid powerpc upgrade (although I've now trimmed fstab back to sane values).
