Dear Sir I don't know that if this is a FAQ. But when I create a snapshot for my LV2 # lvcreate -L1M -s -nsnapshot1 /dev/VG1/LV2 lvcreate -- rounding size up to physical extent boundary lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be automatically disabled once it gets full lvcreate -- INFO: using default snapshot chunk size of 64 KB for "/dev/VG1/snapshot1" lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "VG1" lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/VG1/snapshot1" successfully created This will create a /dev/VG1/snapshot1 for me. But I can't mount it with the following command: # mount /dev/VG1/snapshot1 /mnt when I still mount /dev/VG1/LV2 on my /var1 mount point. After umount /var1 # umount /var1 Then redo the command # lvcreate -L1M -s -nsnapshot2 /dev/VG1/LV2 This will be ok .. What's wrong with the snapshot ? _______________________________________________ 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/
