Hi All, I just got LVM2 w/XFS up and running recently. I rsync'd all of my existing home data into a new lv, and decided to test the snapshotting functionality. I had tested with a dd'd test file in a test lv prior to this, and all looked good. Now, I have a 110G lv with all of my home data in it. I create a snapshot lv (takes under 10 seconds!) of home without error, and I can mount the snapshot lv, and 'ls' it, poke around in it, and it *looks* like all is there. However, a df shows the snapshot volume to be only ~32G vs 110G for the original. Q: Is this normal? Is the snap just way more space efficient? Q: Also, how does the snapshot work so fast?? Thanks for all of your help, -- Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems InfiniCon Systems http://www.infiniconsys.com _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
