LVM Imaging

Axios

For some reason I made my lenovo Lvm After reading up on Lvm
I think there could be some problems imaging a lvm as I found out with all the different imaging
programs I have.

So in my mind doing a full disk sector by sector image would be sure way to
image it properly but that would eat up storage space.
My question was anyone imaging there lvm disks and restoring them without issue?
and maybe just Used data image?

I imaged the main disk with gnome disk but Not sure in mind if that imaged all that needed to be.
Kinda the same way with apple apfs which I havent dived into yet.

Either that, or they're not at their computers. This IS Saturday.

Axios I did spend about 20 minutes trying to answer this last night with the first 15 results of DDG. Answers were all over the place, nothing looked easy about imaging and LVM and I was afraid I'd have nothing constructive. Ranged from the old UUID conundrum to only being execute if all was GPT or ext4 formatted then got weirder from there.

The most oft-spoke word in non-lvm imaging threads? Clonezilla. I saw that tool nowhere in lvm imaging threads.

Maybe WetGeek is right: small weekend crowd. Like you I'm sure someone here has done it successfully.

Since I'm retired, it's just like any other day. But a lot of folks go fishing, camping, hiking, or do yard work on the weekends.
