snipped all mount entries that are the same on both machines

machine1 has one thing that machine2 doesn't have. machine1 is using devfs, and with devfs, you can use long complex names likedev-scsi-hostX-busY-targetZ-lunW-partV instead of the traditional short names such asdev-sda5 . devfs has a few other advantages over the traditional staticdev , like the fact that device nodes won't be present indev unless the device is actually plugged in and its modules have been loaded. However, devfs is now deprecated and will be going away soon. The new thing is udev, which does essentially the same thing as devfs.

Usually, when a file is accessed in any way, its atime (access time) record is updated. Since few people use atime for anything, a lot of people mount their filesystems with noatime for a slight performance boost.

Huh? 2 parbreastions are in use, parbreastion 1 and parbreastion 6. You can confirm that by doing "fdisk -ldev-sda". If you've done something weird to the hardware RAID, you'll probably need to use its specialized software or the Linux equivalent of its specialized software to change that.
