Hi :)

We're considering using snapshots of LVM logical volumes as a backup
feature, that is, having domU instances running on each of their own
logical volume, and then in the dom0, create snapshots and take backups.

Has anyone else tried this?  Is it safe?

I saw an old message from 2006 on this list, where it is said that
"Common understanding is that LVM2 snapshots are unstable".

Is that still the case?

Thanks,

Morten
