Please pull from: http://people.redhat.com/agk/git/linux-dm for-linus to get the following device-mapper enhancements for inclusion in 3.2. The highlight here is thin provisioning. This includes a new snapshot implementation that, unlike the existing implementation, performs well with multiple snapshots of the same device (e.g. for backups). More-detailed documentation is included in-tree. The development of userspace LVM support is progressing well and and we expect to have the first release of this out in the next month or so. (To try this, people should check out git://sources.redhat.com/git/lvm2 and follow lvm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx.)
