+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This module supports "device mapping", a concept implemented by Linux's
+;;; device-mapper.
+;;;
+;;; Code:
+
+(define-record-type* <mapped-device> mapped-device
+  make-mapped-device
+  mapped-device?
+  (source    mapped-device-source)                ;string
+  (target    mapped-device-target)                ;string
+  (type      mapped-device-type))                 ;<mapped-device-kind>
+
+(define-record-type* <mapped-device-type> mapped-device-kind
+  make-mapped-device-kind
+  mapped-device-kind?
+  (open      mapped-device-kind-open)             ;source target -> gexp
