Hi Thomas, I think I've misunderstood the concept of snapshots. So If I have 7 snapshots of the same volume (created at different times) and a file is changed, would the change affect all 7 snapshots or just the latest one created? If the former, then I imagine changing a 1GB+ file, in my situation will result in an unpleasant experience with the LVM snapshots.
