Hi folks,
I just installed wheezy on my gaming hardware to see what new stuffs coming up. During the installation while partitioning the system I saw some akward files under /dev/mapper but did not really care about it. (Should tell you that the installation is on a fake-raid through an nvidia mobo sata raid controller. dmraid=true at the boot prompt activates /dev/mapper).
But now as the system is up an running those files are still there. And I can't find anything about this. Maybe someone has any clue where I can look further.
Here's the listing of /dev/mapper. dm-7 to dm-9 are those that I have no clue about.
Code:
root@mainframe:/dev/mapper# ls -lha
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 320 Nov 6 12:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 3.6K Nov 6 14:12 ..

And the extract of ../dm-*
Code:
root@mainframe:/dev/mapper# ls ../dm-* -lha

brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 1 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-1

brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 2 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-2
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 3 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-3
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 4 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-4
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 5 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-5
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 6 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-6
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 7 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-7
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 8 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-8
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 254, 9 Nov 6 12:31 ../dm-9
Thanks in advance for any input.
