[lvm-devel] [PATCH] (4/5) partial volume group activation without /dev/ioerror

Hi,

this patch is mostly orthogonal to the rest of the series. It uses the "error"
target of device-mapper to implement partial volume group activation. This used
to rely on /dev/ioerror, which is often not present on modern systems and is
generally cumbersome. The code will now create error maps of the right size for
each of the missing pieces of storage and use those.
