Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Question about OCFS1/2

LVM snapshots work OK providing you a) use them as read-only backups,
and b) make sure you allocate them enough disk space such that there's
no danger of the snapshot filling.

I wouldn't recommend using them to do CoW guest file systems, at least
in a production environemnt.
