How can I map iostat device names to LVM /dev/mapper/XXX names?

Solution 1:

ls -l /dev/mapper/*, the device minor number (field 6 of what ls -l outputs) corresponds to the number in dm-\d+.

Solution 2:

Depending on the version of iostat you have the -N option will do this for you:

-N Display the registered device mapper names for any device mapper devices. Useful for viewing LVM2 statistics.

Edit: versions >= 7.1.4 of systat (which includes iostat) have that option.

2007/04/29: Version 7.1.4 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat wanadoo.fr) * Option -N added to iostat. This option enables the user to query any device-mapper devices for their registered device name [bugzilla #177540].

Solution 3:

you can try lsblk command which shows the Logical Volume used by respective dev-mapper.

# lsblk
