I started with the existing partition schema and wiped everything and performed a separate independent install. I am still not sure why the /dev/dm-1 block device is mounted on /usr which is not what the fstab is instructing. First of all, I notice you haven't said anything about /home, /opt etc. Missing context is important ... Secondly, vg0-usr is a symlink to dm-1, so I would not be suprised for df to resolve it. In fact, looking at both the output of mount, and df, on my system they are inconsistent. mount tells me /dev/mapper/vg-root-lv-gentoo is mounted on /, while df tells me /dev/dm-1 is mounted on /. My guess is that anything to do with initial boot may or may not link to /dev/dm-x, anything after that links to vg as you expect. Either way it doesn't really make any difference imho. Cheers, Wol

You should be using /dev/mapper/..., which should be a link to whatever device is underlying it. /dev/dm-1 will be whatever devicemapper brought up as the first device it found. Cheers, Wol

Are you using systemd or openrc? What are you using for your initrd, dracut or something else? I also wonder if dm1 is the same thing as your /dev/mapper/... by another name -- check where the link points to. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
