Hello,

I was use to snapshot an LVM volume containing ext4 partitions for backup 
purpose. This is a disk for Xen DomU paravirtualized linux box.

With lvm-2.02.98 and kernel  3.4.11 from opensuse 12.2 the ext4 partitions 
inside  the snapshot were clean.

Now I've upgraded to opensuse 12.3 (kernel 3.7.10 lvm-2.02.98)

Is lvm supposed to keep my inside ext4 partitions clean when snapshotting my 
volume? If not is theire any way of doing this?

Any advices welcome.

Thyank you.

Here some informations on my volume
