How to check if thin volume or snapshot was ever activated

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,
as you know, a thin snapshot does have the "k" (skip activation) flag set, so one has to force activation by ignoring the flag (or removing the flag itself).

I wonder: can we detect if a volume/snapshot was *ever* activated? My reasoning is that a never-activated snapshot surely did not receive any application writes, so it can be safely removed (ignoring snapshot retention policy).

Regards.
