I'm not really understanding all the inner-workings of LVM, but now I
can see why using a ram disk for an LVM snapshot might not be a very
good idea for this one reason - it won't survive a reboot...
You just had a system reboot in the middle of a snapshotted backup so
all you need to do is get the system up, redo another snapshot and
retake your backup. I'm not interested in the old snapshot.
I would be... but thats just me...
It's like yesterday's newspaper. Why do you need to keep it?
