Description Christoph Maser 2009-07-04 20:54:29 UTC

It would be really nice if one could use lvm snapshots for chroot environment. That way init would only consist of mounting a given lvm with a named snapshot. This should be even faster than using tmpfs.

Comment 1 Clark Williams 2009-07-05 14:39:02 UTC

How would you create the LVM snapshots? Through a mock interface or through the lvm tools?

Comment 2 Michael Simacek 2014-10-16 15:24:40 UTC

LVM backend is implemented as a mock plugin distributed as separate subpackage mock-lvm. Currently available in rawhide only.
