The tools read and interpret metadata stored on the physical devices, or
in the file system. They use this data to instruct the kernel
device-mapper to create mapped devices that correspond to the volumes
described in the metadata using the device-mapper ioctl interface (via
libdevmapper).
See Alasdair's talks for more information on how all the pieces fit
together:
