Re: Documentation on device-mapper and friends

Hi Gaurav,
 I went through your blog and it is really informative. But after reading that i realized that i have a question:
  If I want to write a block device driver which is going to sit on lvm (and do some functionality on top of it) then should i go for the block device driver api
  or write it as a device mapper target. What are the advantages/disadvantages of both the approaches.

Regards,
Neha

Some docs about multipath can be found here
