what is this thing /dev/dm-[0-6] ? :scratch:
Hi fellows,
In my new Fedora 7 I notice there are a few new things. For instance, theses /dev/dm-[0-6] devices that are showed in a "fdisk -l" command. What is it ? What is its purpose ? I don't have a crypt device or a RAID system. As far as I know, the device mapper is used to map a crypt-loop device or a raid system, but it is not the case. :scratch: |
You don't have lvm? Lvm is based on device mapper.
As you said, its also used for loop disks: my /krypt is the mount point for /dev/dm0, dm0 being a map on /dev/hda6 try dmsetup ls gives me this: _dev_hda6 (254, 0) |
Hi nx5000 !
Yes, I forgot I have a LVM in place. It is just one disk, one LVM partition, which is the default in Fedora7, so I forgot about it. And thanks for the (new for me) command, dmsetup. cheers, |
No problem!
Cheers! |
