There's nothing in dmsetup to patch with regards to this problem. dmsetup and libdevmapper have no knowledge at all of any of the device-mapper kernel target modules (e.g. linear, striped, mirror, snapshot). They effectively just act as a convenient pass-thru to the device-mapper ioctl interface. If you're using dmsetup, you need to know about any restrictions required by the target you're using, and write your mappings appropriately. -- Kevin Corry kevcorry@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.ibm.com/linux/ http://evms.sourceforge.net/ -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
