[...] dmsetup deals with device-mapper devices. Those in /dev/mapper, that you can see with "dmsetup table". LVM uses the device-mapper, and is one of the many subsystems that use it. You can even create device mapper devices manually and use whatever convention you like like. sudo dmsetup table VG-LV | dmsetup create LV@VG for instance, to make a clone of the VG-LV device (created by LVM from the VG/LV subvolume) as a LV@VG device. If there's a bug in dmsetup, it's with providing with a "splitname" subcommand. I can't think of any good reason why that is included. IMO, that feature should be provided by LVM, not dmsetup. -- Stephane _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
