You cannot do that without implementing persistent metadata handling yourself. Use LVM here. dmsetup is simple wrapper to DM-ioctl, low level utility. LVM is based on top of that and solves all the problems with persistent metadata you just found. Milan -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
