Hello, I was use to snapshot an LVM volume containing ext4 partitions for backup purpose. This is a disk for Xen DomU paravirtualized linux box. With lvm-2.02.98 and kernel 3.4.11 from opensuse 12.2 the ext4 partitions inside the snapshot were clean. Now I've upgraded to opensuse 12.3 (kernel 3.7.10 lvm-2.02.98) Is lvm supposed to keep my inside ext4 partitions clean when snapshotting my volume? If not is theire any way of doing this? Any advices welcome. Thyank you.
