    Checking space requirement for logical volume manager
    information.........VGs...........PVs......
    ./usr/sbin/snap[95]: readvgda_1_dot.test=1:  not found

    ... done.

    The snap will complete successfully but will be larger
    than it should be.
    

Local fix

  • Ignore the errors.
    

Problem summary

  • Assumptions in the lvm snap function don't consider VG names
    with dots or dashes.

    dashes.
