dm-flakey ========= This target is the same as the linear target except that it returns I/O errors periodically. It's been found useful in simulating failing devices for testing purposes. Starting from the time the table is loaded, the device is available for seconds, then returns errors for seconds, and then this cycle repeats. Parameters: : Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a "major:minor" device-number. : Starting sector within the device. : Number of seconds device is available. : Number of seconds device returns errors.
