Hi all, I removed the dependence on my block-size kernel patch by calling set_blocksize(cow_dev, 4096). Ext FS does something like this too while mounting if the blocksize of FS is not equal to the blocksize of block device. Now, dm-snap-mv can well run in kernel >= 2.6.33. I built KMP rpm packages for the origin kernels of OpenSUSE 11.3 and Fedora 13 in opnesuse build service. Ubuntu and Debian are on the way. Hi Mike, Is it possible and how could I make my code included in upstream device-mapper? Desire your reply and thanks in advance. The built rpm can be downloaded on: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=dm-snap-mv&project=home%3Amcpacino or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mcpacino/ The new home page of dm-snap-mv is: http://mcpacino.github.com/dm-snap-mv/ Following is some usage examples to illustrate what does dm-snap-mv do: (origin device: sdb1 COW device: sdc1) # Init COW device, bind origin device to it.
