Lucas and Luna dive into Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) snapshots—a powerful tool for creating point-in-time copies of filesystems. They explain how snapshots work using copy-on-write, walk through a practical example of backing up a MySQL database with a 10-gigabyte logical volume, and discuss common pitfalls like snapshot exhaustion. By the end, you'll know how to create, mount, and remove LVM snapshots for consistent backups without downtime. #Linux #Sysadmin #LVM #Snapshots #Backups #MySQL #CopyOnWrite #Filesystem #ServerAdministration #Bash #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DevOps #Storage #DatabaseBackup #LogicalVolumeManager #DataProtection Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
