.SH "DESCRIPTION"

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

.PP The positional arguments *NAME*, *SOURCE-DEVICE*, *DEST-DEVICE*, *META-DEVICE*, and *OPTIONS* have the same meaning as the fields in [**clonetab**(5)](/man/os/systemd/clonetab.5).

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