Bill has already noted this but it _is_ really really ugly:

These are vfstab entries on a sun machine connected to a SAN via
multiple FCAL links, the devices are coalesced using mpxio which turns

drives with this naming scheme makes your eyeballs spin and trying to
get the fsck command line right using the raw device name a trial.
