Hi,<br> Reading a blog on device mapper api got me confused about when one should use device mapper api and when to use block device driver api.<br>I was under the impression that even for stackable device drivers (say a customized block device driver on top of lvm or such) we need to use the block device driver api. But,<br>
reading about the device mapper api i have started thinking that it may not be the case.<br>May be for stackable device drivers device mapper is the solution.<br></div><div class="im">What do you think? What are the pros and cons of device mapper v/s block device driver<br>
<br></div>Regards,<br>Neha<br>
