As RedHat has a limited choice of file systems it supports, I have a need to use EXT3 together with Oracle and a SAN SnapShot (3Par Snapclone). I was wondering if anyone could give me some feed back as to the "best" method to do that. So far I am thinking: Put Oracle into Backup mode Run sync (or multiple times) Execute Snapshot command on SAN (takes less then 1 second). Take Oracle out of Backup mode Then on the system to be refreshed: Shutdown oracle Umount file system Execute Snapshot update (3Par updatevv) Run fsck.ext3 on the file system, which in my tries so far will just recover journals Mount file system Go through work to recover Oracle Start Oracle. Anyone care to add to this? Thanks, Ulf. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
