Hrm, this should perform better. Do you have both origin and snapshot allocated to the same PV ? It will slow down writes, because on every change to the origin, an exception takes place and the original content needs to be preserved (causing additional reads and writes) before the update write is allowed to go through. If both go to the same spindle it'll explain what you see. If this is true, try seperating allocation of the snapshot from the origin (ie. add PVPath to the snapshot create command). Of course you need at least 2 PVs in your VG to do that and enough free space on the second to allocate the snapshot. > > KERNEL 2.6.13 > LVM2 = 2.01.15 > Library : 1.01.05 > Driver version: 4.4.0 > > _______________________________________________ > 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/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
