I have got a strange error while working through the project....

I am using dmsetup to make flash drive as cache to hard disk by the
below command

/dev/sdb1 --> flash drive
/dev/sda1 ---> hard disk

>>echo start_offset_disk end_offset_disk cache /dev/dsa1 /dev/sdb1 | dmsetup create foo

I am getting following error:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Command failed

any body have any idea about this...plz reply....

and i am also not sure about the start_offset_disk and
end_offset_disk....presently i am using the values output by fdisk -l
below

>fdisk -l

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(485, 254, 63) logical=(486, 248, 1


so for example my command goes like this:

>>echo 1 3200 cache /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 | dmsetup create foo

device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Command failed

plz reply Its urgent
