Hi, After having looked after a AIX LVM logical volume discovery tool and a AIX JFS file system driver for linux, I have written both myself (for read-only access only). I plan to submit the jfs driver (which I currently have called jfsv3) to linux-fsdevel, but the partition scanner does not fit well in block/partitions, which supports only contiguous partitions. Similarly kpartx (part of multipath-tools) does seem to have the same limitations as block/partitions. I am currently able to produce a table for input of dmsetup, but dmsetup is a generic tool that does not support any particular partition layout. I would like to get some suggestions of existing software projects where my code would fit well.
