Unless you patch things, you have to unmount source ext3 filesystems before you make snapshots. Here's some of the relevant code from my backup script: SNAPNAME=`date +%j` fuser -km /home umount -rl /home mkdir /snaps/$SNAPNAME lvcreate --snap --name $SNAPNAME -L 500M /dev/vg00/lv_home mount /home mount /dev/vg00/$SNAPNAME /snaps/$SNAPNAME This section takes under a second to run. There are patches that should let you get around this, but I've never tried them. -- David Johnston <david@littlebald.com> Little Bald Consulting, LLC _______________________________________________ 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/
