#### status items
Each item in the indented section under `Storage Driver: devicemapper` are
status information about the driver.

* `Pool Blocksize` tells the blocksize the thin pool was initialized with. This only changes on creation.
* `Data file` blockdevice file used for the devicemapper data
* `Metadata file` blockdevice file used for the devicemapper metadata
* `Data Space Used` tells how much of `Data file` is currently used
* `Data Space Total` tells max size the `Data file`
* `Metadata Space Used` tells how much of `Metadata file` is currently used
* `Metadata Space Total` tells max size the `Metadata file`
* `Udev Sync Supported` tells whether devicemapper is able to sync with Udev. Should be `true`.
