- phyzome 7y agoI don't remember the details, but when I looked into switching to LVM snapshots, I ran into some sort of blocker. My use-case is that I run Sandstorm, and want to be able to back it up while it's running. That means: - Ensure there aren't any existing snapshots - Take a snapshot - Mount the snapshot as a filesystem - Run tarsnap against that filesystem - Release the snapshot I think the trouble I ran into was at the mount step.
