Derek, That's risky. Just read lock the DB, create the lvm snapshot and release the lock. Otherwise you risk a transaction to be interrupted. Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn May 13, 2019 16:47, Derek Atkins <derek@ihtfp.com> wrote:

Another option is to create a snapshot, backup the snapahot and merge the disks (delete the snapshot actually). Sadly that option doesn't work with Databases, as you might inyerrupt a transaction and leave the DB in inconsistent state.
Yet another reason to do it from inside the VM.
What I do (on systems that have a running database) is to run a "flush" operation to sync the database to disk, and then from within the flush operation I create an LVM snapshot, and then I backup off the snapshot. If I'm not running a database, then I just create the snapshot directly.
