Hello,
Maybe it's only a feature request, or the feature is hidden, but I
recently had the need of timestamping my LV's, especially snapshot LV's.
I need to know when the snapshot has been taken, or the snapshot LV
creation date (which is IMHO the same).
Does this functionality exists, and how to get it ?

The easy workaround is to touch a file just before making the snapshot.
At least this works in the common case where you need the snapshot time for
incremental backups to work correctly.
