No, that's not a correct assertion. We can only say that device-mapper
is being used somehow. It could be LVM, EVMS2, dmraid, or a few other
things.

Use dmsetup (info,ls,status,targets) as well as the sysfs block slave
entries on dm-* to figure it out from scratch. (or at a higher level,
try the LVM tools etc).
