Logical Volume Manager Before you create snapshots or snapclones of a device that is managed by Logical Volume Manager (LVM), be sure to properly configure LVM. After creating a snapshot or snapclone of a physical volume, always run vgchgid(1M) to break the association between the volume group and the snapshot or snapclone. Otherwise, snapshots or snapclones appear to LVM as an alternate path to the original physical volume.
