========

|
|
|
Device-Mapper's "delay" target delays reads and/or writes
|
|
and maps them to different devices.
|
|
|
|
Parameters::
|
|
|
|
<device> <offset> <delay> [<write_device> <write_offset> <write_delay>
|
|
[<flush_device> <flush_offset> <flush_delay>]]
|
|
|
|
With separate write parameters, the first set is only used for reads.
|
|
Offsets are specified in sectors.
|
|
Delays are specified in milliseconds.
