I've gone through the device-mapper document and I've also joined the dm-devel mailing list. However on dm-devel mailing list, I see that the discussion/patches is mostly around userspace library or utility. I think all the device-mapper and friends code is under drivers/md/dm-* Can you please give me some more pointers/ideas to proceed further from here. Thank you for your help. !!amit
