I am a bit confused about the /dev/sda* references since I installed Wheezy instead of Squeeze on a testing box.
fdisk -l returns:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

This seems correct. But df -h /dev/sda (and /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5) returns:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
The same happens with every entry under /dev/disk/by-id and /dev/disk/by-path.
Only one of two entries under /dev/disk/by-uuid returns the correct volume size:
df -h /dev/disk/by-uuid/cacdbad6-7e6b-4e80-84ba-e3c77ef48796

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
It seems all other references than the uuid points to the swap partition.
Is this because Wheezy is in testing, and should it be reported as an error?
