I've picked up DM patches 4-8 because they didn't depend on the first 3 block patches. But I'm fine with picking up 1-3 if Jens provides his Acked-by. And then I can pickup the remaining DM patches 9-11. Thanks, Mike -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
