[Bug 1558264] Re: Usability Partitioner menu does not display the real 4 digit device number

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

lvm tooling uses kernel device names, until upstream supports
alternative (display) mappings, this is non-trivial to fix and/or will
be buggy. This request is equivalent of asking $ vgs to magically change
display names. Closing this bug report, until there is upstream support
in lvm for by-path device names by default.

Bug description:
  == Comment: #1 - Hendrik Brueckner - 2016-03-10 05:53:02 ==
  Usability: Partitioner LVM menu displays dasdX devices.  The device name, the X in dasdX, depends on the order in which the DASDs are enabled (being set online).

  It would be better to display the device nodes by-path, for example,
  /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.e4a0.
