The number is actually related to the partitioning allowed on the device.
* Devices are only checked for partition tables if their minor number

* Use 1 if the device is not partitionable.
device-mapper devices don't get partitioned by the kernel
so use 1 instead of 254.
Ah, thank you for pointing this out.
Will update the FAQ accordingly.
