RE: Intermezzo and XFS

[Murthy Kambhampaty <Murthy.Kambhampaty@goeci.com>]

This question probably deserves more analysis than any of us is capable of
but if "one-way replication" fulfills my application's needs, and perhaps
Vincent's, then is copying an LVM snapshot of an XFS filesystem to an XFS
partition on the "secondary" server a sufficient solution. Is it possible to
script a cron job which: (a) mounts a snapshot, (b) tar's/untars the
snapshot over using NFS/SMBmnt, (c) unmounts the snapshot. I haven't tried
it yet becuase (i)I'm having other problems I want to solve first, and (ii)
every time I get optimistic about its prospects, I see problems cropping up
with LVM snapshots of XFS volumes.

Keeping the faith,
	Murthy
