The path is the same but the name displayed on the screen change... Display names are a userspace concept, not a kernel one. The kernel has no knowledge of when it is serving a name for display consumption and when it is for low-level FS activities. Userspace code often uses the same strings for both purposes. For this reason, this feature is not implementable without essentially reimplementing all userspace software, so it's not practically doable in a Linux distro. -- Hisham
