Hi,

Vzdump in gentoo has a bug in its current version, where it does not
detect correctly LVM partitions, which renders it useless for live LVM
snapshots.

The fix is here:

I applied the fix for the gentoo ebuild here:

https://github.com/zoobab/overlay4gentoo/blob/master/app-backup/vzdump/files/vzdump-1.2-lvm-fix.patch

Best,

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
