As said - there is no bug in libdm - libdm expects udev to create

but then nothing else will work with it - so it's basically
dead-road...
It doesn't matter who creates it, what matters is that when parted
asks what the correct name is, that it be told the name that actually
is created.
I assume you will need to learn why it does matter - it's the crucial part of
this puzzle - but it's surely not a topic for lvm-devel list.
And as I've also already said - yes it really does mean that many userspace
tools need be adapted to handle things in more user friendly way.
The best you can do is to not use names which needs mangling -
that's my best suggestions (and lvm team already spend countless
hours on some usable workarounds and solutions...)
Unfortunately, it seems that a number of hardware vendors ship
preconfigured fakeraid setups with a space in the name of the volume.
It have to be dealt with them properly on user level part.
User level needs to use some different names for such devices.
It's currently highly discouraged to create devices with 'prohibited'
characters in them - since the rest will fail to process them properly.
You really can't expect udev will start to support spaces in names....
So tools like 'mount' will need to know how to translate...
For mangling see 'dmsetup mangle' help - how to obtain device
names...
Is there a libdevmapper call to do this?
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/tree/libdm/libdevmapper.h
Look for 'mangle' in function names.
For 'howto' look at dmsetup.c source code:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/tree/tools/dmsetup.c
There is not much better doc for these function unfortunately.
I'd strongly advise to stay on 'dmsetup' level of usage.
It would also probably help to describe what kind of app which uses
libdevmapper you are trying to develop...
