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: http://people.redhat.com/agk/talks/ Regards, Bryn. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
