Should I create it by hand? vgmknodes fixes things Boot-up scripts should include vgscan --mknodes. LVM2 will be updated at some point to recognise /dev/mapper/vg-lv names on the command line, but it doesn't yet - you must always use vg/lv. dm-<minor_number> in sysfs/block is something I have no time for but seems pretty harmless. But /dev/dm* sounds quite unnecessary. devfs puts things into /dev/mapper automatically: udev should be configured to do the same - but it seems it can't because that would mean userspace call outs running scripts at critical times when they are not permitted to block (e.g. must not allocate any memory) or else could lock up the whole machine. So everything should use libdevmapper (or equivalent), often via dmsetup, to keep /dev/mapper up-to-date.
