Actually, it was weirder that just the name change. A "df" command showed /backup already mounted on /dev/sdc5 and the free space about what I'd expect, but if I did an "ls" on /backup, there was nothing there, and if I did an "fdisk -l", it reported /dev/sdd, but not /dev/sdc. It's like the name changed sometime after the system was already up and the drive mounted. I rebooted, and all seems back to normal again, but I've never seen this particular glitch before.
