2011-05-04xfstests: support post-udev device mapper nodesChristoph Hellwig
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.
