OK, that should work... *IF* you are careful about some of the gotchas concerning snapshots. Namely... if you're mounting them, be aware that the original filesystem and its snapshot will both have the same UUID and filesystem label. So if you try to mount-by-label (eg. "LABEL=foo" in fstab), you can't guarantee which one will be picked up. Now, filesystems set up by anaconda on LVM should be specified in /etc/fstab by their LVM path, not by their label. But if you have set up the fstab entry yourself by label, then you might well confuse the system. > When I rebooted the machine, the boot failed when It tried to access the > snapshot logical volume.

Well, in general it should work.. we'd need to see the error to know if there's a special-case you've fallen into.
