Hi all,
I'm going to develop a module to create a snapshoot with LVM before =

mounting, destroying it after umounting.

I have thought tree different ways to do it:

- Do it as a module, defining a different fstype (like "ext3lvm"), using =

the generic module to mount and umount the real ext3 fs.

- Modify the generic module to add a option (like -lvmsnapshoot)

- Like Jim Carter proposed, create a module to allow mounting and =

umounting the fs to a script.

What do you think would be best?

Thank you,
Jordi
