Hi folks,
I found several howtos on the web stating that if you want to snapshot a
gfs volume (on top of clvm, of course), you have to freeze gfs (using
gfs_tool) to make that possible.
What comes in mind then is: If I have to freeze the gfs volume anyway,
do I need a snapshot at all? Can't I copy the contents off the frozen
gfs volume directly?
Because the basic purpose of a snapshot is to provide files that do not
change during beeing copied. And I would expect a frozen gfs volume to
provide exactly that.
Please help in clarification.
Dirk
