Hey there, currently I am testing a small backup script (ksh) which is supposed to create snapshots of my MySQL database file systems using the Linux LVM2 snapshot feature. Here is the command I am using: "/usr/sbin/lvcreate -L 10240M --snapshot -p r -n mysqlsnap /dev/datavg/mysqllv" It works fine so far ($? = 0), however I am seeing some kind of strange messages: " File descriptor 7 left open Logical volume "mysqlsnap" created " A month ago Jürgen reported similar messages using "lvdisplay": https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2005-July/msg00069.html Alasdair then pointed out that this message is (only?) a warning message: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2005-July/msg00070.html Here 's my question: Do I have to be worried about the consistency of my snapshots in any way because of this message?
