A directory bearing the name of each Volume Group is created under /dev when any of its
Logical Volumes are activated.
Each active Logical Volume is accessible from this directory as a symbolic link leading
to a device node.
Links or nodes in /dev/mapper are intended only for internal use and the precise format
and escaping might change between releases and distributions.
