Explore the comprehensive capabilities of the Linux kernel's Device Mapper framework in this 39-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Discover how Device Mapper creates virtual block devices by mapping address spaces to other block devices or specialized functions, serving as the foundation for LVM, Linux software RAIDs, and dm-crypt encryption while enabling advanced features like file system snapshots. Learn about the full spectrum of Device Mapper targets available for production environments, including dm-cache, dm-clone, dm-crypt, dm-ebs, dm-era, dm-integrity, dm-linear, dm-mirror, dm-raid, dm-stripe, dm-switch, dm-thin, dm-unstripe, dm-verity, dm-vdo, dm-writecache, and dm-zoned, as well as debugging-specific targets such as dm-delay, dm-dust, dm-flakey, and dm-zero. Gain insights into related technologies including drbd, md (RAID), and bcache that operate as devices layered on top of standard block devices, and understand how these powerful but often underutilized features can enhance your Linux storage management and system administration capabilities.
