One last thing.... :-) Now imagine this: create disk0 Activity on disk0 Take a snapshot disk0 -> disk0_snap0 Activity on disk0 take a snapshot disk0 -> disk0_snap1 (We will now use the differential between snap1 and snap0 to represent what needs to be backed up from snap1) This leaves us with something that looks like this: disk0 --> disk0_snap0 -> disk0_snap1 Will we need to remap the parentage of disk0_snap0 so it looks something like this? disk0 -> disk0_snap1 -> disk0_snap0 (Is this possible with dmsetup?) Or could we have many (order of hundreds or thousands) of snaps directly on disk0 and not impact performance? _______________________________________________ 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/
