Hi,

The devmapper system requires the /dev/mapper directory and the
/dev/mapper/control node to exist in order to function correctly. When
using DevFS or udev, these nodes are created automatically when the
devmapper module is loaded; however, if you use a static /dev directory
(which is what I'm using), then you have to set those up manually.

The devmapper source contains a script 'devmap_mknod.sh' in the scripts/
directory to facilitate this. However, this script is not packaged.

Please consider adding this script to the dmsetup package.

A strace of dmsetup shows the following:

directory)
