=head1 NAME

writeboost - create dm-writeboost device-mapper mappings

=head1 SYNOPSYS

writeboost [ B<-u> ] [ B<device> ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

mappings as per definitions in the "/etc/writeboosttab" file.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<device>

Act on given device from the first field of the I</etc/writeboosttab> file.
When not given writeboost acts on all devices listed in I</etc/writeboosttab>.

=item B<-h>, B<--help>

Show usage and options.

=item B<-u>

Un-map all mappings (or un-map only given B<device>).
