No answer to your question, but a cautionary note that AFAIK lvm snapshots are still marked experimental in the 2.6 kernel. I know I've had far more luck with them in 2.4 than I ever have in 2.6. I posted earlier that my SuSE 10.1 snapshot experience was improved, but I'm still definately getting errors. ie. failed snapshots.
I wasn't aware of this. I've had a complete lockups of a system twice while creating a snapshot. I take snapshots daily, 99% of them successful, and I didn't understand these two lockups. (no difference compared to the other days afaik...) Are you generally staying away from lvm snapshots..? Anyone else seeing that it's not 100% stable..? mj
