"Unused Devices" is easy:
- disks that have no partitions and are not used as devices for e.g.
RAID or LVM
- partitions that have no mount point and are not used as devices for
e.g. RAID or LVM
So in general it's a device that you can format and assign a mount
point to or use for RAID or LVM.
"Device Mapper" is more difficult. Device mapper devices are somehow
assembled by other devices (it's a very general concept). E.g. logical
volumes for LVM are assembled that way. Encrypted partitions are also
handled this way.
But the devices shown here are the once the partitioner doesn't
recognize (e.g. as logical volumes or as encryption devices). Normally
no devices should be shown here but the user or some tool can create
device mapper devices of new kind.
Hope that helps.
