2011-03-24dm: add flakey targetJosef Bacik1-0/+17
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. I needed a dm target to do some failure testing on btrfs's raid code, and Mike pointed me at this. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
