[PATCH] device-mapper for 2.4

[PATCH] device-mapper for 2.4

[Alasdair Kergon]

An up-to-date device-mapper patchset against 2.4.19-rc1
has gone up today at:
  http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/

Please send feedback if you can think of ways to improve it 
- or even to break it:-)

Device-mapper is a light-weight driver designed to support
volume managers generically.  It lets you define new block
devices composed of ranges of sectors of existing devices.
There are also patches to support snapshots and mirroring 
(LVM2 will use this to implement pvmove).
