I am very interested to hear a more detailed explanation of this,
as I don't really see how it addresses the problems.

Probably because I don't know much about device mapper.

But my understanding of it is that it re-exports portions of
the original device as a second device.

It doesn't seem to prevent using the original device afterward,
and I don't know if dm devices can have GRUB installed on them or not.

So a more full tutorial might be in order here.

Cheers
