Description Alexander Todorov 2015-12-02 14:40:37 UTC 
On aarch64 system I get the following output:

I don't see an option to display the real devices instead of the symlinks and I'm not sure what causes this inconsistency with other platform. 


/proc/mounts shows the devices as /dev/sdaX as well.
