A.2.2. The dmsetup ls Command
You can list the device names of mapped devices with the
dmsetup ls command. You can list devices that have at least one target of a specified type with the dmsetup ls --target target_type command. For other options of the dmsetup ls, see the dmsetup man page.
The following example shows the command to list the device names of currently configured mapped devices.
# dmsetup ls

The following example shows the command to list the devices names of currently configured mirror mappings.
# dmsetup ls --target mirror
lock_stress-grant--02.1722 (253, 34)
lock_stress-grant--01.1720 (253, 18)
lock_stress-grant--03.1718 (253, 52)
lock_stress-grant--02.1716 (253, 40)
lock_stress-grant--03.1713 (253, 47)
lock_stress-grant--02.1709 (253, 23)
lock_stress-grant--01.1707 (253, 8)
lock_stress-grant--01.1724 (253, 14)

LVM configurations that are stacked on multipath or other device mapper devices can be complex to sort out. The
dmsetup ls command provides a --tree option that displays dependencies between devices as a tree, as in the following example.
# dmsetup ls --tree
