Configure LVM Snapshot On Linux Server

This project involves configuring a Linux (Ubuntu 6.06) server for Linux Volume Manager use and developing a set of commands to backup and restore via LVM snapshot logical volume which is running a MySQL database. The server has been set up with an unconfigured 500 GB disk and you will be given root access to. Steps required (as I see them): 1) Configure the disk into 4 x 125 GB PEs 2) Configure a filesystem F on one of the PEs 3) Create command to snapshot F to somewhere (another of the PEs, presumably) 4) Command to put the snapshot into a TAR-type file for FTPing 5) Create command sequence to restore F from the tar file. This is a test server so there is no problem rebooting it, etc... The job will be considered complete when the set of commands are delivered and have been successfully performed by our staff on another server with an identical configuration. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
