[Utnubu-maintainers] DMRAID Naming Convention

[D Catch]

Please change DMRAID to have a naming convention that makes since.
I need to display a menu of drives to users and there doesn't seem to be a standard to tell a drive from a partition.  I thought if it ended in a digit then it must be a partition, but that's not always the case.  Here's an example:
 
contents of /dev/mapper directory/dev/mapper:
control                        
isw_ibacibfhi_SYS_DATA_RAID01isw_ibacibfhi_BACKUP_RAID1     
isw_ibacibfhi_SYS_DATA_RAID05isw_ibacibfhi_BACKUP_RAID11    
isw_ibacibfhi_SYS_DATA_RAID06isw_ibacibfhi_SYS_DATA_RAID0
 
How do I know what's what?
 
In reality you should be changing the /dev/sdx entries to something like /dev/phy_sdx and then creating virtual drives that look lke just normal drives /dev/sda so it's all hidden when presented to the end user.  But anyway...
 
Thanks!
