Hi Guys,

Anybody have any idea about what could happen if, during a snapshot the discs used by the snapshot logical volume fail ? What I expect is that my snapshot will fail (nothing could be more fair than this ;-) , but is there any chance of this corrupt the logical volume that was being backuped during the disc failure ?

TIA,

Cuqui

Yes, the sanpshot will get dropped (IOW: fail) and no corruption to the original LV will occur.
