direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Hello,

according to the DRBD Users Guide, a full snapshot can cause the origin to fail.
"A full snapshot causes both the snapshot itself and its origin volume to fail."
https://drbd.linbit.com/users-guide/s-lvm-snapshots.html    

Our experience is, that the origin can be used without interruption.

Any experiences in which situations the origin can get into trouble when a snapshot gets full?

Thank you,
Christoph
