Hello: Still my new openSUSE Leap 15.3 installation. Doing a df -h my root partition (the only partition at the moment) is listed as /dev/mapper/WDC.....-part2. Is this the normal way in Leap 15.3 or I enabled some service which does this? How could I get back the old /dev/sdx way? Thanks, Istvan

Did you choose to encrypt the partition? /dev/mapper/.. usually points to an encrypted partition. -- Bob Williams System: Linux 5.3.18-lp152.50-default Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.71.0, Qt: 5.12.7 and Plasma: 5.18.5 https://useplaintext.email/

/dev/mapper (aka Device Mapper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_mapper) is a subsystem that is used by multiple other things, like LVM (Logical Volume Manager) or Cryptsetup. To know what your setup looks like, it would be helpful if you give the output of command "lsblk".

I don't have LVM, RAID, encrypted partition or btrfs. For some reason initrd had the multipath module, I guess. I recreated the initrd several times beforehand. I found the solution here: 17.5 Configuring the System for Multipathing 17.5.1 Enabling, Disabling, Starting and Stopping Multipath I/O Services https://documentation.suse.com/sles/12-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-multipath.html https://documentation.suse.com/sles/12-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-multipath.html#... That is: # systemctl stop multipathd # systemctl disable multipathd # dracut --force -o multipath -o is for do not include in the initrd. Reboot. This fixed the problem. Thanks again, Istvan
