Thanks for diagnosing this, as you may have gathered none of the hardware we're testing on does this. I've pushed a patch to dm-devel that hopefully will make it's way upstream very quickly. I used dm_bio_record/restore, since there are many more fields that underlying drivers make tweak in the bio. - Joe -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
