devmap_name
major minor
devmap_name major:minor
dmsetup manages logical devices that use the device-mapper driver. Devices are created by loading a table that specifies a target for each sector (512 bytes) in the logical device.
The first argument to dmsetup is a command. The second argument is the logical device name or uuid.
Invoking the
command as devmap_name is equivalent to
dmsetup info -c --noheadings -j major -m
minor.
-c|-C|--columns
Display output in columns rather than as Field: Value lines.
-j|--major major
Specify the major number.
-m|--minor minor
Specify the minor number.
-n|--noheadings
Suppress the headings line when using columnar output.
--noopencount
Tell the kernel not to supply the open reference count for the device.
--notable
When creating a device, don’t load any table.
-o|--options
Specify which fields to display.
-r|--readonly
Set the table being loaded read-only.
--readahead [+]<sectors>|auto|none
Specify read ahead size in units of sectors. The default value is "auto" which allows the kernel to choose a suitable value automatically. The + prefix lets you specify a minimum value which will not be used if it is smaller than the value chosen by the kernel. "None" is equivalent to specifying zero.
--table <table>
Specify a one-line table directly on the command line.
-u|--uuid
Specify the uuid.
-v|--verbose [-v|--verbose]
Produce additional output.
--version
Display the library and kernel driver version.
|
create |
device_name [-u uuid] [--notable | --table <table> | table_file] |
Creates a device with the given name. If table_file or <table> is supplied, the table is loaded and made live. Otherwise a table is read from standard input unless --notable is used. The optional uuid can be used in place of device_name in subsequent dmsetup commands. If successful a device will appear as /dev/device-mapper/<device-name>. See below for information on the table format.
|
deps |
[device_name] |
Outputs a list of (major, minor) pairs for devices referenced by the live table for the specified device.
|
help |
[-c|-C|--columns] |
Outputs a summary of the commands available, optionally including the list of report fields.
|
info |
[device_name] |
Outputs some brief information
about the device in the form:
State: SUSPENDED|ACTIVE, READ-ONLY
Tables present: LIVE and/or INACTIVE
Open reference count
Last event sequence number (used by wait)
Major and minor device number
Number of targets in the live table
UUID
|
info |
[--noheadings] [--separator separator] [-o fields] [-O|--sort sort_fields] [device_name] |
Output you can customise. Fields are comma-separated and chosen from the following list: name, major, minor, attr, open, segments, events, uuid. Attributes are: (L)ive, (I)nactive, (s)uspended, (r)ead-only, read-(w)rite. Precede the list with ’+’ to append to the default selection of columns instead of replacing it. Precede any sort_field with - for a reverse sort on that column.
|
ls |
[--target target_type] [--exec command] [--tree [-o options]] |
List device names. Optionally only list devices that have at least one target of the specified type. Optionally execute a command for each device. The device name is appended to the supplied command. --tree displays dependencies between devices as a tree. It accepts a comma-separate list of options. Some specify the information displayed against each node: device/nodevice; active, open, rw, uuid. Others specify how the tree is displayed: ascii, utf, vt100; compact, inverted, notrunc.
load|reload
device_name [--table
<table> | table_file]
Loads <table> or table_file into the inactive table
slot for device_name. If neither is supplied, reads a table
from standard input.
message
device_name sector
message
Send message to target. If sector not needed use 0.
mknodes
[device_name]
Ensure that the node in /dev/mapper for device_name is
correct. If no device_name is supplied, ensure that all
nodes in /dev/mapper correspond to mapped devices currently
loaded by the device-mapper kernel driver, adding, changing
or removing nodes as necessary.
|
remove |
[-f|--force] device_name |
Removes a device. It will no longer be visible to dmsetup. Open devices cannot be removed except with older kernels that contain a version of device-mapper prior to 4.8.0. In this case the device will be deleted when its open_count drops to zero. From version 4.8.0 onwards, if a device can’t be removed because an uninterruptible process is waiting for I/O to return from it, adding --force will replace the table with one that fails all I/O, which might allow the process to be killed.
remove_all
[-f|--force]
Attempts to remove all device definitions i.e. reset the
driver. Use with care! From version 4.8.0 onwards, if
devices can’t be removed because uninterruptible
processess are waiting for I/O to return from them, adding
--force will replace the table with one that fails all I/O,
which might allow the process to be killed. This also runs
mknodes afterwards.
|
rename |
device_name new_name |
Renames a device.
|
resume |
device_name |
Un-suspends a device. If an inactive table has been loaded, it becomes live. Postponed I/O then gets re-queued for processing.
setgeometry
device_name cyl head sect
start
Sets the device geometry to C/H/S.
|
status |
[--target target_type] [device_name] |
Outputs status information for each of the device’s targets. With --target, only information relating to the specified target type is displayed.
suspend
[--nolockfs] [--noflush]
device_name
Suspends a device. Any I/O that has already been mapped by
the device but has not yet completed will be flushed. Any
further I/O to that device will be postponed for as long as
the device is suspended. If there’s a filesystem on
the device which supports the operation, an attempt will be
made to sync it first unless --nolockfs is specified. Some
targets such as recent (October 2006) versions of multipath
may support the --noflush option. This lets outstanding I/O
that has not yet reached the device to remain unflushed.
|
table |
[--target target_type] [device_name] |
Outputs the current table for the device in a format that can be fed back in using the create or load commands. With --target, only information relating to the specified target type is displayed.
targets
Displays the names and versions of the currently-loaded targets.
version
Outputs version information.
|
wait |
device_name [event_nr] |
Sleeps until the event counter for device_name exceeds event_nr. Use -v to see the event number returned. To wait until the next event is triggered, use info to find the last event number.
Each line of
the table specifies a single target and is of the form:
logical_start_sector num_sectors target_type target_args
There are currently three simple target types available together with more complex optional ones that implement snapshots and mirrors.
|
linear |
destination_device start_sector |
The traditional linear mapping.
striped
num_stripes chunk_size
[destination start_sector]+
Creates a striped area.
e.g. striped 2 32 /dev/hda1 0 /dev/hdb1 0 will map the first
chunk (16k) as follows:
LV chunk 1 -> hda1, chunk 1
LV chunk 2 -> hdb1, chunk 1
LV chunk 3 -> hda1, chunk 2
LV chunk 4 -> hdb1, chunk 2
etc.
|
error |
Errors any I/O that goes to this area. Useful for testing or for creating devices with holes in them. |

join two disks together

DM_DEV_DIR
The device directory name. Defaults to "/dev" and must be an absolute path.
