LVM snapshots are supposed to be read-only, aren't they ? But indeed if the journal data has not been committed on the original volume when the snapshot is taken, then the snapshot may have false data in it as, due to its read-only nature, it is not able to catch up the uncommitted journal data... Am I missing something ? _______________________________________________ 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
