When I didn't know schroot could do this I wrote a script to do that myself: http://greek0.net/lvmchroot/lvmchroot_0.5-1.dsc It's geared towards creating and maintaining chroots on LVM logical volumes, creating snapshots as needed. It also takes care of creating the initial chroots on LVs, it can automatically upgrade them, etc. Plus they're better documented (IMHO) as schroot, for which I couldn't find any useful docs. If the schroot maintainers agree we could try to merge my stuff into schroot. Cheers, Christian Aichinger
