In the guide, I see

   Snapshot feature is not fully implemented in LVM in NetBSD and

A quick try says:

   snapshot: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel

Any hints on risking a partial implementation? Or a way of using fss
on a lv?



1) LVM needs some love in NetBSD, but I think with a not-terribly-huge amount, it could become much more useful than it is now. Mostly, it needs someone with the time to actively work on it for a week or two at the kernel level.

2) fss(4) should JFW with file systems on LV partitions...
