Bug 675559

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #674354 +++

In looking through the sosreports, I think it would be helpful to add
"dmsetup ls --tree" to the commands we run.  Although the info is
available with other existing dmsetup commands, it is an excellent way
to get a summary of complex setups.

Here's an example of an LVM mirror, with mirror images on partitions
created on top of multipath devices.  The multipath devices are on
simple block devices.  As you can see, it is easy to see the stacking
from the "dmsetup ls --tree" output:

# dmsetup ls --tree

 ├─vgmpathtest-lvmpathmir_mimage_1 (253:13)

 └─vgtest-lvmir_mlog (253:7)
    └─ (7:3)
VolGroup00-LogVol00 (253:0)
 └─ (202:2)


But it is much harder to see the stacking with what is there today in
sos - the output from "dmsetup info", "dmsetup status", and "dmsetup
table".  We could piece together the stacking from "dmsetup table" but
it requires further processing (take output from "dmsetup info to get
map name to major/minor, then parse "dmsetup table", etc):

One line simple patch which adds "dmsetup ls --tree"

--- Additional comment from dwysocha on 2011-02-03 09:34:25 EST ---

I've added "dmsetup ls --tree" to lvmdump command upstream in lvm2 project. Should be in lvm2 release 2.02.83.
