As those of you monitoring the lvm-cvs mailing list may have noticed, I've added code to the LVM2 CVS tree to help people simulate large devices for testing purposes on 2.6 kernels with the latest -udm patches. lvcreate --type zero -L16T vg # Create 16TB 'zero' device lvcreate -s vg/lvol0 -L1G # Create snapshot of it Then use the snapshot as a 'sparse' device, in the example, supporting upto 1GB of actual data. [At some point I'll merge it into a one-line command with --type sparse] NB There's been a lot of change in CVS recently (and more to come) so I expect some new bugs to show up along with the new features:-( Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
