If so, this can be done as follows: > > # mount /dev/vg/snapshot /snap > # mount /dev/vg/original /orig > # (cd /snap; tar cf - .) | (cd /orig; tar xvf -) rsync would probably be a better option - it will copy far less and will remove any files added after the snapshot was taken (if invoked appropriately). /orig should end up as a replica of /snap. _______________________________________________ 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/
