Yes, Windows is probably having troubles seeing the SAME disk twice. Remember that when you take a snapshost of LV (which Windows sees as a LUN/disk presented by iSCSI) it is a copy of original, so it has the same UUID and all other identifiers - and Windows doesn't like that. You either have to present the snapshot to different Windows machine or use your linux/windows to change UUID (use google what exactly needs to be changed), so that Windows will see it as a different disk. And when it is a different disk for Windows, it may still contain the same filesystem (with filesystem unique id). FYI the same applies to Linux - with the exception that Linux doesn't do anything without your approval and that it doesn't panic when it sees duplicate PV/filesystem. -- bYE, Marki _______________________________________________ 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/
