Subject: [linux-lvm] Standard Linux Framework for Snapshot Notification
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 19:20:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <64c763540511140550t4de2bbc8scdc58e4d38717a15@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I want to know whether Linux provides any standard interface for
volume managers etc so that applications can register themselves to be
notified when a snapshot needs to be taken.
Something similar to VSS on Windows.
If there isnt any such interface how is consistency guaranteed for
application data when a snapshot is taken ? eg. How does one take
(consistent) snapshots of database instances w/o first quiescing them
?
If this not the right place to ask this, can someone point me in the
right direction ?
Thanks & Regards
BD.
