Hi,

I have noticed that if I have a very small disk (512MB) mounted to an VM and doing an LVM snapshot the COW-Size of the LVM snapshot LV will be as large as defined in my /etc/vzdump.conf (8GB). I think that's pointless, because the snapshot LV will not rise 512MB. Is there a way to set 512MB for the the small LV and 8GB for larger ones?

Greetings
Max
