You can simply use it via that path. A 2.6 kernel will not allow to use a=20
block device via different paths.

You could also fire up evmsn and delete the compatibility volume for that=20
device, then EVMS will not occupy it again.

However, I for one would keep it that way, and even go one step further:=20
Create an EVMS volume on it which allows to give a meaningful name.

You could also join those partitions and create an LV for swap.

HTH...
