Hi all, first off I'd like to mention that the best way to contact me from now on isn't IRC anymore but rather e-mail. This is because I wast^Wspend way too much time on IRC, so I'm cutting back on that. So please drop me an email if something is wrong with a commit, or for comments/reviews/asking for reviews/criticism/...
Regarding the recent commits to switch device mapper over to our disk subsystem, please note that I'm not quite done yet. There are a few quirks and issues such as the creation of the compatbility slice s0 (/dev/mapper/foo.s0) and some issues with the base device (/dev/mapper/foo) that doesn't allow it to be used for at least swap, but possibly also others. I'll fix that as soon as I can, probably some time this week. In one of the commits I've switched hotplugd to use libdevattr which means that the hotplug(4) device driver should be ripped out of the kernel. I'd appreciate if someone could do that; it's just a matter of deleting the files and removing the lines from sys/conf/files (?) and the Makefile in sys/dev/misc (?). I've also bound dm into devstat, which means it will show up on iostat, but due to the formatting used by iostat, it means you will just see 'mapper0' or so instead of 'mapper/foo'. Kind Regards, Alex Hornung
