[RFC PATCH 3/3] discover: Create dm-snapshots for all eligible devices

Samuel Mendoza-Jonas sam.mj at au1.ibm.com
Mon Apr 27 15:52:49 AEST 2015


Create a dm-snapshot for any device with a valid filesystem. This
protects the backing disk from any writes Petitboot may attempt to make
regardless of mount type, such as journal replays.
