That works, but it's not exactly convenient.
[root at system ~]# dmsetup splitname /dev/mapper/tempvg-lvspare1
VG LV LVLayer
/dev/mapper/tempvg lvspare1
If /dev/tempvg/lvspare1 is the optimal naming scheme, cut or awk is needed to recreate the name from that output. How about a 'dmsetup canonical' that takes <device> and provides /dev/<vg>/<lv>?
