	Hello!
Can you help me with iostat monitoring of /dev/dm-* and /dev/sd* 
devices.  Main question is about understanding of tps value. For example 
/dev/dm-5 is a dm-mapper-device based on /dev/sde and /dev/sdc.  tps 
value of dm-5 is 30% bigger than sde+sdf. According to stats from 
storage, right TPS io value is sde+sdf. Why /dev/dm* values differ while 
other columns are the same? How to treat this numbers?
	Thank you!
