Hi, Quick question regarding external snapshots. Currently, for making backups of my guests, I use external snapshots like this: virsh snapshot-create-as --domain PCVIRTdra --disk-only --atomic --quiesce --no-metadata --diskspec vda,file=/srv/poolVMS/PCVIRTdra-ONDERHOUD If I wanted to use a logical volume as destination behind the '--diskspec' option, can I do this like this? virsh snapshot-create-as --domain PCVIRTdra --disk-only --atomic --quiesce --no-metadata --diskspec vda,file=/dev/CmsrvVH3-vg/PCVIRTdra-ONDERHOUD It seems to work, but if this is never intended to be used like this, I would rather not... I ask this question because it seems libvirt is actually recognizing the logical volume as a file: root@CmsrvVH3:~# virsh domblklist PCVIRTdra --details Type Device Target Source ------------------------------------------------ file disk vda /dev/CmsrvVH3-vg/PCVIRTdra-ONDERHOUD file cdrom hdb /srv/poolVMS/Windows10_x64.iso file cdrom hdc /srv/poolVMS/virtiodrivers.iso Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks in advance, Dominique. _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
