Hello. I managed to fill up a snapshot which (obviously) rendered it invalid and I know this topic has been touched several times. However, it was mentioned (post quoted below) that it might be possbile to recover some ciritcal files out of the snapshot. ---8<--------- On Thu, 23 Aug 2007, Hans C. Kaspersetz wrote: ... full. I.e., you might be able to pull out a critical file if you had to, but it is a mess, and you are usually better off just deleting the snapsnot. P.S. If you need to recover a critical file, unmount (or mount readonly) the source LV immediately so it stops overwriting the snapshot. ... ---8<--------- Can someone give me some hints about this? After a reboot the device-mapper fails to read the snapshot metadata. best regards, frodem ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Få din egen, gratis e-postadresse på Start.no _______________________________________________ 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/
