[DNG] Names of logical volumes

I'm trying to make sure I don't do something catastrophic by misunderstanding. I do lvcreate --name ascii-root --size 3G jessie to create a logical volume called "ascii-root" within the volume group "jessie". Then I look at the result by ls /dev/mapper and get: root@notlookedfor:/# lvcreat
