This is a terrible idea. Note that if you have say 40mb/sec on regular
lvm partition, you will be reduced to about 10mb/sec on the cow. also,
major fs intensive things are likely to kill your cow. (i have noticed
nessus completely ruining a lvm snapshot). because of this, there is
work being done to create a real cow fs in replacement of lvm snapshots.

multiple level lvm snapshots

I have a number of xen domains running on lvm cow snapshots. I would like to make cow snapshots of these. Does anybody know if this is possible using lvm? i.e. it would be: base_image -> cow snapshot -> cow snapshot

I guess today's common usage model for Xen No. The hardware time and syncing this to UTC is a function of the system, not the instances. Why have n ntpd daemons running when one is sufficent? I think "independent_wallclock=1" should be the special case, when someone wants to change the instance's view of UTC. Personally I've simply removed the ntpdate/ntpd package from my domU init packages. -- Nicholas Lee http://stateless.geek.nz gpg 8072 4F86 EDCD 4FC1 18EF 5BDD 07B0 9597 6D58 D70C
