>From Thomas Bruecker, Switzerland.
Dear DM-Developers,
I have questions about swapping to device-mapper targets:
Question 1:
Provided that "sda1" and "sdb1" are two devices, to which I may swap without
any problems, e.g. with the entries in "/etc/fstab":
"
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
".
May I swap also to the mirror target "test_raid" created by the statement
' dmsetup create test_raid \
--table "0 8388608 mirror core 2 8388608 sync \
2 /dev/sda1 0 /dev/sdb1 0 " '
without any problems (e.g. deadlocks)? (The command above completes
successfully and therefore there is enough space on "sda1" and "sdb1" to create
the target.)
Question 2:
Provided the table entry form for a mirror target is:
' ... --table " $START $LENGTH mirror \
$LOG_TYPE $NumLOGARGS $LOGARG1 ... $LOGARGm \
$NumDEVS $DEVICE1 $OFFSET1 ... $DEVICEn $OFFSETn "
'
Does your answer to question 1 only hold for the parameters I specified in
question 1 or for all legal parameters $... (of the above table entry form)?
I have searched your site "http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/"; by google
for answers to my above questions, but I have not found any answer to them
there. So I would be happy to get an answer from you.
Sincerely
Thomas Bruecker
