LVM support

Posted on July 8, 2013

Hi,

Is LVM supported in a CentOS 6.4 droplet? We need on demand backups for which we plan to use LVM snaphots. I am considering a couple of options

  1. Convert the root partition to a LVM partition
  2. Reconfigure the free space into a new partition and use LVM for it.

Has anybody tried this?

regards, Dharshan

Hi Stefan, <br> <br>I am happy to use DO backup if it solves my needs. I need a point in time backup - can be scheduled or on demand. Can you share some details of the backup process? Is it based on snapshots and how long does it typically complete? <br> <br>

There is bavkup allready at DO :) where you can make it avalible to all religion there is a DO datacenter :)
