Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 18:31:00 -0800 (PST) From: david@...g.hm To: phillips@...nq.net cc: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [RFC] An alternative interface to device mapper forgive the lack of threading, I missed this yesterday and just found this via the LWN article. I like the general approach that you are taking of simplifying the interface, however in your interest of making it easy to write C code for you are making the new interface difficult to script for. is it really that painful to to make everything file based so that it can be scripted as well? frankly, most sysadmins do a lot of scripting and almost no C coding, so while a nice C interface is useful for creating tools, a good scripting interface is critical for good, flexible use by sysadmins.
