I've recently begun to try out LVM snapshots and I have 2 things I'm wondering about My intention is to run backups off the snapshot. As a first iteration, I left 15% of the disk for the snapshot LV. 1. The HOWTO instructions suggest that the snapshot is in effect as long as the snapshot LV exists, and use lvremove to disable the snapshot. Is this the proper way? 2. I chose 15% because the disk is not that active and I think it will be plenty for the duration of the backup I'm doing. Is there a way to track how much space the snapshot is actually using?
