There's a new release of the increasingly inaccurately named thin-provisioning-tools: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools/releases/tag/v0.4.0 This contains tools for manipulating the dm metadata for dm-thin, dm-cache and dm-era. There is also an updated thinp_xml Ruby gem which can generate, parse and emit the XML format of the above three metadata types. https://rubygems.org/gems/thinp_xml Changes ======= - All tools switch to using libaio. This gives a large performance boost, especially to the write focused tools like thin_restore. - Added a progress monitor to thin_restore, cache_restore and era_restore - Added a --quiet/-q option to *_restore to turn off the progress bar - Removed variable hint size support from cache tools. The kernel still only supports a fixed 32bit width. This will have a side effect of reducing the executable sizes due to less template instatiation. - Tools rolled into a single executable to save space. - Fixed some bugs when walking bitsets (possibly effecting cache_dump and cache_check). -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
