Where can I find this patch? I'd like to test it..

The problem with limited number of snapshots is caused by the using
big common mempool in dm-io module.
(This can happen even you have a lot of free memory...)
There are new dm-io patches which introduce new dm-io interface
(using private mempools) and solving this type of snapshot limitation.
Patches are currently in review and will probably change a bit,
but I hope it will in 2.6.19 kernel.

Yes I really need it. I have to create a virtual network editor
for my
diploma project. So I have found many virtual solutions but the
bestest
for our project is OpenVZ. Unfortunatly, OpenVZ don't offer the
copy on
write with his solution, after many tests, I have found a solution
based
on LVM.
The main idea is to have a Virtual Private Server Core and lot of
Virtual Private Server who are a snapshot of the Virtual Server Core.
Now the problem is the limitation of VLM, I need more than 32 servers
(32 snapshots). Will this limitation incresed in futur futur
released of
LVM? Or can we broke this limitation?
Have you a solution, it's relly urgent for me...
Thanks you

I don't understand the error..
I'm not a native french speaker (hint!) but I assume you run out of
memory.
Yes there are limitations to the number of snapshots. For every
single
snapshot we have to allocate memory for copying the chunks to the
exception
store.
Do you really need that many snapshots at the same time?
