Is this the same xen? Because that was an actually intelligent and logical response. But like was the case a year ago there is no data or state sharing between the fs and LVM block so what you want is not possible and will never see the light of day. Use ZFS or btrfs or something else. Full stop. _______________________________________________ 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/
