Subject: [linux-lvm] multiple levels of snapshots
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:54:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd8dc0d20704231154l4a512d7ag2df2405ebcb17cd2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
From what I can see, LVM tools don't allow creating multiple levels of
snapshots (i.e. creating a
snapshot of a snapshot). Is this a fundamental property of LVM/device
mapper architecture
or is it that this feature simply hasn't made it to LVM (yet)?
Would it be possible to use dmsetup to set this up? I suspect that the
answer is "no", but
I'd like to make sure before I give up on this.
Thanks.
