[opensuse-factory] snapper program -- does it work w/lvm?
snapper claims to work with lvm but I have had any luck trying to create a config. last thing I tried was: # snapper -c home create-config -f "lvm(xfs)" /home Creating config failed (invalid filesystem type). # mount |grep /home /dev/HnS/Home on /home type xfs It's an xfs formatted filesystem on an lvm partition. lvm(xfs) is even given as an example... Ideas? or is it brtfs only?

It's an xfs formatted filesystem on an lvm partition.
lvm(xfs) is even given as an example...

According to documentation it needs thin LVM volumes.

---- Isn't that just an option you need to specify when creating a snapshot? or hmmm... how do thin lvm volumes differ from regular snapshots? Sigh...

No, it is the property of underlying volume.

Thin volumes are not snapshots. You can create snapshots *of* thin volumes. As I understand, in case of thin volumes snapshots are contained in the same pool, much like in case of btrfs. I do not know whether LVM thin snapshots are still COW or just pointer switching.
Sigh...

It's an xfs formatted filesystem on an lvm partition.

http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.s... says it's btrfs only. BTW: LVM also supports snapshots (with a different style - AFAIK it does the snapshot on a partition level, not for single files).

Thanks, but what do you make of this: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Snapper Where it claims to support ext4 and lvm with arbitrary file systems as well as having been available since 12.1. me<--*confused* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
