Hello, There is an option --snap to the lvcreate utility to create a read-only snapshot(frozen image) of a volume. Is there a possibility to quickly create a rw (read/write) snapshot of a logical volume ? I'm thinking here of applications in the style of EMC Timefinder BCV's (bcv = business continuance volumes). For example, I want to create a snapshot of a mounted volume running Informix. The snapshot of the mounted logical volume will be inconsistent, but it appears then to contain a 'crashed' instance of Informix, and when mounting the snapshot, I'd like to replay logfiles (do a recovery on the crashed instance) for which I need read/write access to the snapshot ... Thank you, David Stes. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
