Stooopid question re /dev/mapper

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

With a backup plan in place, I took a chance and added the invisible F8 
partition to the fstab of the FC6 install,  And it worked flawlessly!!!
So now I can copy over the scripts that make the magic of my email work and a 
bunch of other stuff that wasn't in the 30GB I copied the other night while 
booted to F8, and mounting the FC6 volume.

So, my question is:

  Is /dev/VolGroup0x/LogVol0x created by just by having it in the fstab?

And secondarily, although I'll never hit the limit as I can't afford the 
drives or space in the box for them, what is the limit to the 0x in the above 
strings, eg, how many are possible?

-- 
Cheers, Gene
