Package: base-installer
Severity: wishlist
Now /dev/mapper structure is created only if lvm2 is detected. However,
device-mapper is also used by dm-crypt and EVMS. This patch creates
/target/dev/mapper in case device-mapper module is loaded. This
directory is needed (atleast) to get grub installed.
The approach in the patch has the slight inconvinience of creating the
directory in some cases even if not really needed. For example in case
user has created encrypted partitions that are not / or /boot related.
In My (lazy) opinion, wasting few nodes on target is accepteble, since
adding more fine grained tests would instead bloat the base-installer
script and make it more fragile.
(Riku: please file such requests as wishlist bugs next time)
