What steps should we be taking now? For starters we need to get rawhide's yum-utils updated to include the latest fs-snapshot plugin updates that are now upstream. Who should update the SystemRollbackWithBtrfs page? Or should we create a new SystemRollbackWithLvm page that is linked to from SystemRollbackWithBtrfs? > It'd be good to have your input on the gnome-disk-utility UI for > snapshots too, now that we'll have more than one user for it -- we're > discussing at: > > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608204 > http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26258 I'm open to helping answer any questions David might have, and making any lvm changes needed to assist his effort, once he has time to look at gnome-disk-utility's snapshot integration (via lvm and btrfs). It would be nice if gnome-disk-utility knew to treat LVM snapshot LVs that have a "yum_" tag as being part of a "system rollback point" or some such. But I'm not sure of the best way for David to programatically (or via lvm utility) access a snapshot LV's lvm tag(s). A stop-gap would be to just rely on the suffix of the LV name to end with: "_yum_" (but that is fairly crude!) Mike
