Hi Gaurav,
I went through your blog and it is really informative. But after reading that i realized that i have a question:
If I want to write a block device driver which is going to sit on lvm (and do some functionality on top of it) then should i go for the block device driver api
or write it as a device mapper target. What are the advantages/disadvantages of both the approaches.
Regards,
Neha
Hi Amit,I had compiled some notes on my blog.Here are some links on writing your own device mapper target.
