456 - LVM Snapshots - Alternative to Windows Volume Shadow Copy for Linux
Let's continue to learn Linux Logical Volume Management with perhaps one of the most exciting features of LVM: Snapshots. We'll teach you what it does, how it does it, and how you can utilize LVM Snapshots for your own on-the-fly backups ala Hotcopy or Volume Shadow Copy.

Well, last week we learned how to deploy an LVM installation of Ubuntu Mate ( • 455 - Introduction to Logical Volume Manag... ) ... and woh, now we're getting into the serious Linux geekiness! This week, we'll learn to resize the root Logical Volume to make room for a LVM Snapshot!
One thing I learned last week is that I really need to keep it simple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_pr...) ... let's learn the advanced LVM stuff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical...) without getting over-the-top complicated. We keep it fun and lighthearted, and explain how LVM works for the average Linux user.
Jeff and I also had a great discussion following the news about the 2nd most popular password found in the recent (huge) data breach across 1,100 web sites ( • 18atcskd2w - Why Is It The #2 Password? ) , and our theories may actually make you go "Hmmmm."
I fired up the new Micro Drone 3.0 ( • Video ) and even share a bit of FPV video footage, while Jeff shows us the new computer he bought (http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/409051...) through our Partner Links (https://theshowshow.tv/partners.php) .
Enjoy the show, and thank you for supporting Category5 TV!
