Also, other systems don't make you pre-allocate disk space for snapshot usage, and other systems don't automatically destroy your snapshot if you run out of pre-allocated space. LVM snapshot is crap compared to other systems - but if you want to make a single snapshot so you can dump or tar your ext3/4 filesystem in a consistent state or something, then it's good for that purpose. And not much else. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
