It looks like it is the same:

corsac at fitz: ls /dev/mapper
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 10, 59 20 juin  23:30 control
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 20 juin  23:30 fitz-home -> ../dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 20 juin  23:30 fitz-root -> ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 20 juin  23:30 fitz-swap -> ../dm-1

So I guess just waiting for the migration will be ok.

Cheers,
