Thank you Curtis, I will remember the kpartx dependency for my next
install.

1) If the device name ends in a letter, then for the partition name simply 
append the partition number/
     E.g.,
          Device name = /dev/mapper/isw_cjbdddajhi_Volume
          Partition name = /dev/mapper/isw_cjbdddajhi_Volume3

2) If the device name ends in a number, then for the partition name append the 
letter 'p' and the partition number.
     E.g.,
          Device name = /dev/mapper/isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol6
          Partition name = /dev/mapper/isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol6p3

In my experience, this logic was reversed in one of the utilities. Don't
have a repro sequence, but at some point I ended up with a partitions
named "jmicron_MIRRORp1" and "jmicron_MIRRORp11". Applying the logic you
described, I should have gotten "jmicron_MIRROR1" and
"jmicron_MIRROR1p1", which would make sense.
