just switched to uuids in /etc/fstab - strange df -h output

I just converted my /etc/fstab from /dev/sdx format to /dev/disk-byuuid/x format. When I do a df -h now here is my result:

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                   10M  200K  9.9M   2% /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/7afa18b4-0064-4cfa-9f02-369edb5390d9
                       12G  3.4G  7.1G  33% /
none                  2.0G   36K  2.0G   1% /tmp
shm                   7.0G   66M  7.0G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1              63G  4.1G   56G   7% /home
/dev/sda2             7.9G  1.8G  5.8G  23% /var
/dev/sda2             194M   28M  157M  16% /boot
/dev/sda6             844G  368G  476G  44% /media/data

Why does just the root fs show the uuid while everything else shows the /dev/sdx format?

Not strange at all, just normal - I get the same output with uuids in my fstab.

@toad - thanks for the confirmation.
@thisoldman - I was aware of the first thread (actually posted in it) but this is different from what was going on there.

/dev/sda2             7.9G  1.8G  5.8G  23% /var
/dev/sda2             194M   28M  157M  16% /boot

is this correct?
