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.
