What version of xfstests are you using? Do you have a
"README.device-mapper" file in the base directory? If not, upgrade
to the latest version and retry.

xfstests: support post-udev device mapper nodes
Because of udevs complaining device mapper now creates /dev/dm-N as the real
device nodes, and just symlinks the /dev/mapper/ names to it. This would be
easy if everything used the /dev/mapper clear names, but most system utilities
translate them back to the /dev/mapper/ names and thus confuse various test
cases. Add support to _is_block_dev to read symlinks, and add documentation
on how to run xfstests on device mapper volumes.
