What is Dev Mapper filesystem?
The device mapper is a framework provided by the Linux kernel for mapping physical block devices onto higher-level virtual block devices. It forms the foundation of the logical volume manager (LVM), software RAIDs and dm-crypt disk encryption, and offers additional features such as file system snapshots.

What kind of partition is in / Dev / mapper?
1 Answer 1. The entries in /dev/mapper are LVM logical volumes. You can think of these as Linux’s native partition type. Linux can also use other partition types, such as PC (MBR or GPT) partitions. Your disk is divided in MBR partitions, one of which (/dev/sda2) is an LVM physical volume.
When is partitioning enabled for a mapping service?
When partitioning is enabled for a mapping, the Data Integration Service uses multiple threads to process each mapping pipeline stage. The Data Integration Service can create partitions for mappings that have physical data as input and output.
How are partitions used in data integration service?
If you have the partitioning option, administrators can enable the Data Integration Service to maximize parallelism when it runs mappings. When administrators maximize parallelism, the Data Integration Service dynamically divides the underlying data into partitions and processes all of the partitions concurrently.
Which is the physical volume of / Dev / SDA2?
Your disk is divided in MBR partitions, one of which ( /dev/sda2) is an LVM physical volume. The LVM physical volume is the single constituent of the volume group rhel_jackpc, which contains two logical volumes: root (which is your CentOS system partition) and swap (which is your CentOS swap partition).
