Hello, xfs docs suggest to use xfs_freeze before taking a snapshot of a xfs filesystem. However, if I try to create an LVM snapshot of a frozen xfs filesystem, lvcreate gets stuck in the kernel (ps shows a state of "D"). lvcreate returns as soon as the xfs filesystem is unfrozen (and leaves a _usable_ snapshot). What's wrong here? Using "xfs_freeze -f; lvcreate -s& sleep; xfs_freeze -u; wait; mount snapshot; do_backup" seems a bit too adventurous to me. What I do instead is "lvcreate -s; mount -o ro snapshot; do_backup". But I'm not sure if this is "the right thing" to do. Any suggestions? Thanks! -jo -- -rw-r--r-- 1 jo users 63 2005-01-04 22:50 /home/jo/.signature
