Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block devices. dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and writes accordingly. The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote, high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable, fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user I/O. When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the destination device. For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst Suggested-by: Vangelis Koukis <vkoukis@arrikto.com> Co-developed-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> |
