Quite. I have cloned a root partition on the same disk in order
to do some experiments on the cloned system. I think I just
changed the UUID and label in the filesystem metadata and in
/etc/fstab.

I assumed that a snapshot was just an immutable image of the
original
volume taken at a given moment.
Never mind, I just found out that LVM2 snapshots are read/write.

AFAIK, there is no persistent way to mark a partition or
filesystem read-only. GPT partition table

Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like a nice idea, but how do you use snapshots to clone a logical
volume and then use the clone as a regular volume ?
Not sure what you mean by "regular volume".

Not sure what you mean by "regular volume". All my "partitions" are

Maybe systemd is a bit more picky, but at least in the past, the root
partition did not need to be present in /etc/fstab, so in many cases
there was no need to do anything at all when

I have used said preseed.cfg to produce required installs.

I've not yet defined my personal "optimal" install.
My nominally base install will be a reasonably standard CLI plus
a personally preferred default set of utilities.
