|
|
Caker / Mike,
Is it possible to add dm-snapshot to the UML 2.6 kernel (CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=y)?
Kernel documentation: Documentation/device-mapper/snapshot.txt
User documentation: "Taking a Backup Using Snapshots (LVM-HOWTO)".
Regards,
Cliff

You can change it as 'm'. and build the module.
copy into your linode, and insmod. |

Unfortunately not.
Under Linode (User-Mode-Linux) loading modules into the kernel is one of the privileges we don't have. So this is the way to do it: request the feature be built into the Linode kernel.
In this instance Caker has agreed to have a look at including dm_snapshot.
Regards,
