Just curious as I rarely see anyone mention it. I've got a handful of systems that rotate a snapshot of their root LV every 24hrs as a safety net. It's saved me once for sure.
Of the systems I've inhereted and not deployed myself, I usually see people just allocate the entire VG to however many LVs, leaving no overhead for snapshotting. Any reason why this isn't more widely used? It seems like a very useful practice.
