Well, something appears to create your device nodes, and it shouldn't do
that...

On a udev system userspace never creates any device nodes, that's done
on its own by the kernel via devtmpfs, udev then just creates symlinks
on top, or changes access rights. It appears that your LVM/DM installation
for some reason created device nodes anyway, and you need to figure out
why it did that, and turn this off. It might be in your initrd...

Further questions regarding LVM/DM should better be directed to the
LVM/DM people...
