Subject: [linux-lvm] How to check if thin volume or snapshot was ever activated
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 2021 13:39:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7956b86706382158e1fddb3c4bfbfde3@assyoma.it> (raw)
Dear all,
as you know, a thin snapshot does have the "k" (skip activation) flag
set, so one has to force activation by ignoring the flag (or removing
the flag itself).
I wonder: can we detect if a volume/snapshot was *ever* activated? My
reasoning is that a never-activated snapshot surely did not receive any
application writes, so it can be safely removed (ignoring snapshot
retention policy).
Regards.
