Considering the current failure mode when a snapshot becomes 'full' (that is, when I run out of space to remap changed blocks the snapshot becomes corrupted) this is the only way I currently feel comfortable using LVM snapshots at all, so personally, I think snapshots that did not persist through reboots would be quite useful. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
