The discussion about this feature seems to have stalled ... will there be a v3 of this series any time soon? Also, I am wondering what should happen if a device-mapper table is changed in a SUSPEND/LOAD/RESUME cycle. Such operations can change the content of the device, thus I assume that the diskseq should also change. But AFAICS this wasn't part of your patch set. In general, whether the content changes in a reload operation depends on the target. The multipath target, for example, reloads frequently without changing the content of the dm device. An ever-changing diskseq wouldn't make a lot of sense for dm-multipath. But I doubt we want to start making distinctions on this level, so I guess that diskseq and multipath just won't go well together. Regards, Martin
