I am utilizing LVM snapshots, and every once in a while I get this 'you must specify the filesystem type' error when trying to mount the volume: $> ./snapshot.sh -s lvremove -- doing automatic backup of volume group "datagrp" lvremove -- logical volume "/dev/datagrp/datasnap" successfully removed lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be automatically disabled once it gets full lvcreate -- INFO: using default snapshot chunk size of 64 KB for "/dev/datagrp/datasnap" lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "datagrp" lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/datagrp/datasnap" successfully created mount: block device /dev/datagrp/datasnap is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type But it only happens once in a while. How can I rid myself of this issue? I am on SuSE Linux 7.2 (2.4.7-64GB-smp) with lvm 0.9.1 beta7. Thanks, Kenny Gorman DBA
