I had thought that might be the reason for the code duplication. However for me, testing snapshot where the system is running out of KVA, it actually seems to work better to not have the extra pool. (it has 16gig physical memory, so KVA is in tight supply). It's a difficult call. I could put the private pool back. In which case, I'd solve the other problem a little differently. What do you think? By the way, I notice my post last night didn't go out on dm-devel because I'm not a member? I thought I was on the dm-devel list.
