From: Jonathan Brassow The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not be there. This patch removes it. To make the fix simpler, we first reorder a constructor argument The 'device size' argument is generated internally. Currently it is placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string. However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it. We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log, just in case we need to resend them. These are the same arguments that are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one. When creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor table. We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a mistake.
