So along those lines have you guys worked on userspace tools that can verify/repair the ondisk metadata? That will be a prereq for upstream inclusion (at least for dm-dedup to become anything but "experimental"). dm-cache and dm-thin targets have these types of tools (thin_{check,repair}, cache_{check,repair}, etc). Upstream repo is here (misnamed, gets packaged into device-mapper-persistent-data rpm on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, etc): https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Mike -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
