does that mean that I will have to dedicate that physical device for the Snapshot. I mean if I had 4 device /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd and previously if I was striping my original LV over all the 4 devices, in the current context I stripe the original LV over 3 devices and create the Snapshot LV over the 4th (dev/sdd) ? ------------------------- On Tue, Apr 01, 2003 at 07:35:16AM -0800, Aman Shahi wrote: > > Using LVM1, how do I create a snapshot LV on a > different physical device than the original LV > Just add the PV name to the end of the command-line. eg. if your original LV (/dev/vg/original) is on /dev/sdc1 and you want the snapshot on /dev/sdj1 do: lvcreate -L<size> -s -n snapshot /dev/vg/original /dev/sdj1 -- patrick __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
