Package: lvm10
Version: 1.0.4-5woody2 (source)
I have a backup system that makes snapshots of the filesystems when
backing them up. In order to minimise the risk of snapshots
overflowing, I arranged for the snapshot to use all of the free space
in the volume group (since it wasn't being sued for anything else).
However, I was foiled by this test:
if ( size > lv->lv_size * 1.1) {
fprintf ( stderr, "%s -- ERROR: size of snapshot is too large\n",
cmd);
return LVM_EINVALID_CMD_LINE;
This is documented nowhere that I could find. The restriction should
be removed, silently enforced, or perhaps documented. The error
message is very unhelpful too.
Ian.
