Hello!

I'm wondering if I can use LVM (or rather Device Mapper) to provide a 
"chunked" or "split" view of a device (such as a block device or partition).

Specifically if I have a block device (i.e. /dev/hde1) that is 60GB, and 
I want to view it in 1GB chunks, say /dev/hde1.000 to /dev/hde1.059 or 
something like that.  That way I could, for example, setup a FTP or HTTP 
server to view these and download them over the network (of course I'd 
need to modify the server to be able to read from a block device), 
rather than having to download the entire 60 GB block device.

Is it possible to use DM/LVM to provide a view of the device like this?
I am using Linux 2.6.X.

Thanks,
Pete

Sorry for the resend - ignore the 2nd.
