alternatives (not compile tested):

gboolean crypt_mapper_check(gchar *data)
{
        gchar *s;
        FILE  *fp;

        s  = g_strdup_printf("/dev/mapper/%s", data);
        fp = fopen(s, "r");
        g_free(s);

        if (fp) {
                fclose(fp);
                return TRUE;
        } else
                return FALSE;
}


gboolean crypt_mapper_check(gchar *data)
{
        gchar *s;
        FILE  *fp;

        s  = g_strdup_printf("/dev/mapper/%s", data);
        fp = fopen(s, "r");
        g_free(s);

        if (fp)
                fclose(fp);

        return fp != NULL;
}
