computer 101, you cannot have more than one instance of a name in the
same folder. Why didnt i think of that? :-) But still, if cryptsetup
complaint is on duplicate mapper name, the error should talk about
mapper name, not device.

The error should have said "mapper name zzz already exist", not
"device zzz already exist".
