Looks like a poor assumption was made around device-mapper numbering:

99 out of 100 times, mpatha would be dm-0 since we're creating the *first* device mapper on a clean system; however; sometimes we don't get dm-0.

So the fix here is for this script to read the dm-X name from the /dev/mapper/mpatha link so we can show the holders tree for that device (that there are no LVM holders against the mpath devices as we're creating a "buried" lvm on top of multipath devices for curtin to ensure it can wipe clean.
