That said /etc/init.d/libdevmapper* doesn't create any directories by
itself it merely loads dm-mod and other device mapper modules. Since
dm-mod is also loaded by dm-multipath which in turn gets loaded by
/etc/init.d/multipath-tools-boot this shouldn't have any relevance. I'm
quiet sure the bug is somewhere else - you should be able to disable the
/etci/init.d/libdevmapper* scripts completely.
