Thanks for your patches.  I don't have time right know to look at the
technicalities in detail.  Do we have all of the relevant Debian LVM
and devmapper reading this thread ?  If not we should make sure that
they look at it.

I'm also encouraged by the fact that you've written patches at all;
this suggests that you do seem to be taking the matter seriously,
although your comments don't always give that impression.

If you're finding it difficult to write long and coherent explanations
in English please feel free to write in German.  My German is probably
good enough to understand your points if you spell them out clearly
(and at length!) and I would be happy to try to act as an
intermediary.

Ian.
