[linux-lvm] [PATCH 4/2] fs snapshot plugin: add LVM tag to allow tools to link pre and post snapshots

[Mike Snitzer]

Add a "yum_fs_snapshot_<trans_id>_<origin_volume>" LVM tag to LVM-based
snapshots (old or thinp).  These tags will allow tools (e.g snapper) to
link the pre and post snapshot volumes together.

yum_fs_snapshot_trans_id() uses the first 16 digits of the hash() of the
rpm TransactionSet instance to establish a unique id that is common to
both the pretrans_hook() and posttrans_hook() -- this is quite the hack;
I'm open to using other (more future-proof) methods.

Factored add_lvm_tag_to_snapshot() out to allow for reuse.
