Device Mapper and pretty names
 

How does one view the dm-{n} names wrt the actual dev names?
I assume it involves dmsetup but I cant figure it out. I am using iostat
to track some busy disk io and don't know which dm-{n} to watch :)

Thanks!

Try ls -l /dev/mapper/

The minor number will correspond to the {n} in dm-{n}.

For instance, this:

$ ls -l /dev/mapper/
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 1 Apr 30 15:32 sysvg-home

indicates that dm-1 is /dev/sysvg/home
