Hello,
I was use to snapshot an LVM volume containing ext4 partitions for backup
purpose. This is a disk for Xen DomU paravirtualized linux box.
With lvm-2.02.98 and kernel 3.4.11 from opensuse 12.2 the ext4 partitions
inside the snapshot were clean.
Now I've upgraded to opensuse 12.3 (kernel 3.7.10 lvm-2.02.98)
Is lvm supposed to keep my inside ext4 partitions clean when snapshotting my
volume? If not is theire any way of doing this?
Any advices welcome.
Thyank you.
