Hi,

Im currently working on a samba fileserver setup based on LVM2 on top of kernel 2.4.22.

Our customer now wants to keep several snapshots (one every day) from the main share for backup purpose. He wants to keep up to two weeks online, that leads in 14 different snapshots for one source LV.

All of these snapshot LVs should be mountet.
The Source LV is about 1TB in Size, we have about 300Gb for snapshots free.

Is this possible ?, did anyone else something like this before ?, how big would the performance impact be ?

If someone can give me some hints,numbers
all would be welcome.

greetings
