Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: LVM general discussion and development Hello again, Sorry to flood the list with newbie questions... if there is a better list for things like this, please let me know... I'm still fairly new to linux (coming from windows world), and enjoying the freedom, but as far as scripting goes - well, to call me a noob is being kind... Would any kind souls be willing to share some basic scripts that can be used to activate a snapshot, then 'do x' (this would be my rsnapshot command), then release the snapshot? The part that I don't have a clue about is how to check for errors - ie, did the snapshot activate ok? Did it release ok?... Thanks for any responses, including decent how-to's, etc... -- Best regards, Charles
