[linux-lvm] Using RAID-0 disks to snapshot backups

[linux-lvm] Using RAID-0 disks to snapshot backups

[Claudio Cuqui]

Hi Guys,

Anybody have any idea about what could happen if, during a snapshot the 
discs used by the snapshot logical volume fail ? What I expect is that 
my snapshot will fail (nothing could be more fair than this ;-) , but is 
there any chance of this corrupt the logical volume that was being 
backuped during the disc failure ?

TIA,

Cuqui

Yes, the sanpshot will get dropped (IOW: fail) and no corruption to the original
LV will occur.
