[linux-lvm] dmsetup says "Device does not exist", though it exists

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

I did not know dmsetup works with lvm file names, did you try to run `dmsetup ls` to see the known devices and the dm compatible name?

Gruss
Bernd

Hi

Have you tried strace ?

Are you using this only in singly machine with properly running udev ?
Kernel version, lvm version, distribution... ?
