Hi
You can't use lvm2 on 'raw' device - we do require PV headers to stay
correct.
BUT
Clearly you can use 'dm-cache' target with 'dmsetup' utility and
maintain the correctness of devices & activation yourself.
See: linux/Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/
(or simply google it) how to use individual targets with just dmsetup

Hi Zdenek, thank you for the clear reply.
I know I can directly use dm-cache but, from a support standpoint, it
would really like to avoid it.
I would rather create a PV on the raw block device.
Thanks.
