What are you trying to measure and why? - How exact must the number be to meet your requirements? Or to put it another way, do you need to know the exact number you are exposing, or do you derive something else from this which could also be derived from an alternative number? In particular, given the way we split and clone and stack devices (so there may be an element of multiplication), and reload tables (so existing values might become irrelevant), did you consider alternative semantics before selecting this approach? (Or to put it another way, is there a need to reset it or track the value since the last resume?) (Documentation is also needed - which ought to explain the semantics and how the observed values interact with the use of device-mapper features.)
