Hi all,
using thin provisioning in production machines (using it mostly for its
fast snapshot support, rather than for thin provision / storage
overcommit by itself), I wonder what to do if a critical metadata
corruption, as the loss of the superblock, should happen.
Filesystems generally have some backup copy of the superblock; should
the primary one fail, another copy can be used.
So I have the following questions:
- how about thin LVM? Has it a backup superblock somewhere?
- how can the metadata be reliable backupped without shutting down the
volume?
- more generally, how to deal with metadata backup? Does vgcfgrestore
works for thin volumes?
Thank you all.
