Out other tools generally allow /dev prefixes to be opt= ional. In this case, twed1 is the name of a GEOM provider, not a device. I'm not sure all GEOM providers necessarily have device nodes - at least, the GEOM framework doesn't enforce it - and for those that do, the device name might not match the GEOM name.
