ls -l /dev/mapper:

Ignore "control", and the minor will identify the device. dm-3, in my
case, would be bit-fc7.

For more information, you can then run dmsetup table <device>:
$ sudo dmsetup table bit-fc7
0 15925248 linear 3:2 122683776
15925248 851968 linear 3:2 144900480

Which means a linear device using /dev/hda2 (major 3, minor 2: hda2).

Thanks very much.
This showed me that my dm-3 was indeed /tmp ,
which is not too bad:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 3 2007-11-29 22:52 VolGroup00-tmp

I'd noticed a few problems with /tmp ,
eg a file I could not delete:
[root@alfred tim]# ls -ls /tmp
ls: cannot access /tmp/lvm.log: Input/output error
total 52
...
? -????????? ? ? ? ? ? lvm.log
...

I'll try e2fsck-ing it.
