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: linux-lvm@redhat.com Well this threw a monkey wrench in my plans: root@vsh02:~# lvcreate --size=230G -s -n res01_snap /dev/dom0_vg0/res01.disk.xm Clustered snapshots are not yet supported. What options do I have? I'm running a two-node cluster with the LVM PV on a DRBD partition in Primary/Primary mode with, obviously, clustering enabled. Each Xen virtual machine has a dedicated LV (ie: res01.disk.xm above). One VM has a very large DB and I was planning to use LVM snapshots to keep the DB lock time to a minimum... Thanks for any advice. Madi
