I have to reboot the computer. After > that /dev/TestMirrorGroup/snap is there... /dev/TestMirrorGroup/OnlineVol is your root filesystem? I have the same problem.

I hope this will change in the (not so distant) future as I need snapshots on root-fs. regards Thomas _______________________________________________ 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/
