I'm not sure where is the best place to ask this so, since I am using LVM, I am asking here in the hope that someone can at least direct me to the appropriate place to ask this. This is my first time setting up LVM snapshots for mysql-zrm backups. CentOS-6.6 MySQL-5.6.22 MySQL-zrm-3.0 (EPEL). Short version: I am unable to tell if the MySQL-zrm LVM snapshots are indeed taking place, or if the backup is being taken directly from the main database LVs. The log file info isn't giving me enough info to tell one way or another. Some more info: I am setting up a database server with all of the database files on LVM LVs and am using mysql-zrm for logical backups using LVM snapshots to reduce the database lock times. I have followed all of the various setup instructions very closely, and am using the default "lvm-snapshot.pl" plugin. However, the only log file lines mentioning snapshot are the following: mysql:backup:INFO: Running snapshot verification using command /usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/lvm-snapshot.pl --action verify-config 2>/home/tmp/xH8KKpsF2O There are no other log entries following this one that seem to have anything to do with snapshots. There are no errors. The backups succeed. Both "--verbose" and "--noquiet" are enabled. Here are the salient entries from the mysql-zrm.conf file: backup-level=0 backup-mode=logical lvm-snapshot=20G snapshot-plugin="/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/lvm-snapshot.pl" backup-type=regular destination=/home/mysql-zrm retention-policy=4W compress=1 Any info or help would be much appreciated!
