Re: efficiently copying snapshot data.

How can I efficiently copy only the snapshot?

rsync.  Mount the snapshot, mount the copy of the source LV
on the other machine, and rsync from the snapshot to the copy.
You'll probably need to use "kpartx" to make the partitions
with the LVs visible.

Say I am using lvm to store VM disks. I have a logical volume with the
master image and the vms are snapshots created from the master LV.

I want to save this VM, copy the memory and snapshot data to a different
machine with the same master LV, and then restore the VM.

Is it possible?  How can I efficiently copy only the snapshot?

Thanks,
