Description of problem:
I have an old Linux root partition, on /dev/hdg1, mounted in addition to the one
I currently use, on /dev/hda2.  df reports the device for my current root
partition as /dev/hdg1, when it is infact /dev/hda2.  My guess is that df is
looking at the label for each partition, and assuming that /dev/hdg1 is the
correct one.  Interestingly enough, the partition on /dev/hda2 is larger than
all of /dev/hdg.

I have added the output from df, and the appropriate syslog lines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
df (fileutils) 4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run /bin/df.
	

Actual Results:
