I hope to submit a snapshot target for 2.5 as an RFC patch to l-k in the next couple of weeks. The mirroring target will follow at some point.

Are there advantages of one over the other? We need the mirror target to perform disk remappings (eg, pvmove). See http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/pvmove_outline.txt - Joe
