Hello guys,

I'm doing this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1113207 
and because of it I need to create new KS command for snapshot
creation. Because kickstart is something with really stable API, I want
to ask everyone before I'll implement something badly.

Possible solutions:


Adding --snapshot parameter to existing KS command
--------------------------------------------------
 * It should be easier to implement.
 * Could be easier to find in documentation.
 * It's logically part of that storage type.
 * logvol command have big number of parameters now.

Adding standalone snapshot command
----------------------------------
 * Harder to implement but it's more general.
 * Easier to extend.
 * Easier to just add support for btrfs with additional required
parameters and anything else in future and syntax will not change so
much.

Personally I see the snapshot command as better choice but want to hear
your idea.

Thank you for your feedback,
Jirka
