![使用 lVM 拍摄快照](https://linux22.com/image/565239/%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%20lVM%20%E6%8B%8D%E6%91%84%E5%BF%AB%E7%85%A7.png)
在使用 lvcreate 命令拍摄逻辑卷快照时,我发现以下内容:
lvcreate --name 测试 --snapshot --size=2M /dev/VolGroup/lv_root
我搞不清楚这里的“大小”到底是什么意思?如果它是要创建的快照的总大小,那么 / 的快照如何能容纳在 2Mb 中?
答案1
LVM 快照所需的空间与原始 LV 不同。因此,如果您创建 1.0GB 卷的 LVM 快照,则快照大小将为 0(嗯,我想除了一些元数据)。如果您要更改原始 LV 上的数据,比如说您下载了一个 200MB 的文件,则 LVM 快照将为 200MB。如果您将快照大小设置为 2MB,则该快照现在将无法使用,因为它无法写入剩余的 198MB。
摘自手册:
-s, --snapshot
Create a snapshot logical volume (or snapshot) for an existing,
so called original logical volume (or origin). Snapshots pro-
vide a 'frozen image' of the contents of the origin while the
origin can still be updated. They enable consistent backups and
online recovery of removed/overwritten data/files. The snapshot
does not need the same amount of storage the origin has. In a
typical scenario, 15-20% might be enough. In case the snapshot
runs out of storage, use lvextend(8) to grow it. Shrinking a
snapshot is supported by lvreduce(8) as well. Run lvdisplay(8)
on the snapshot in order to check how much data is allocated to
it. Note that a small amount of the space you allocate to the
snapshot is used to track the locations of the chunks of data,
so you should allocate slightly more space than you actually
need and monitor the rate at which the snapshot data is growing
so you can avoid running out of space.
