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 ?

Gabriel

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.
