Please direct this question either to an LVM specific list or at least the =
general red hat mailing list.  You have far more chance of getting a reply =
on such a list.  This list is reserved for topics concerning RHN.

I have no experience with this myself but I'd the space you need depends on=
 the expected amount of changes made to the file system and the time you ne=
ed the snapshot.  At least this is true for VMWare snapshots.  But as I sai=
d you'd better as someone who has experience with this on a different list.

Regards

Bram

Subject: [rhn-users] LVM- LV snapshots size?

Hi All

i would like to know how much size should be assigned to a snapshot of a LV=
?
I've seen several examples, but not much people talks about that topic...
should it be the same as the used-space?

thanx in advance!
