-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yohoo! Just for my own curiousity: I have a LVM volume which is presentet through iSCSI to another box. On the other box I used fdisk to create a partition and formatted the partition with ext3. Now I'm performing a backup on the local iSCSI/LVM server like follows: Taking a snapshot of the LV: lvcreate -s -p r -c 64K -L 30G -n snap_backup /dev/vg/backup Setting up the lo-device with the calculation for the partition start: losetup -o$[512*64] /dev/loop1 /dev/vg/snap_backup Mounting: mount /dev/loop1 /srv/snap/ -t ext3 -o ro Now my question is about the file system on the partition. Is it consistent? Would it be better to perform a fsck before mounting? Or can I rely on the above procedure to gain always a proper filesystem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJgVW70XNIYlAXmzsRAvFeAJ9Xz1IzEqEw49+kBnhAChixvK6zCgCgtxaz a7bgGVSkpTWpEoDXueralWE= =RR04 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
