Overview

systemd-clonesetup is used to set up (with add) and tear down (with remove) dm-clone devices. It is primarily used via [email protected] units generated from /etc/clonetab by systemd-clonesetup-generator(8).

The positional arguments NAME, SOURCE-DEVICE, DEST-DEVICE, META-DEVICE, and OPTIONS have the same meaning as the fields in clonetab(5).

Currently, the supported option in OPTIONS is region-size=BYTES, where BYTES is measured in bytes (standard suffixes like "K", "M", "G" are supported).
