-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Andreas or any other LVM gurus, This is related to but not imeadiately concerned with the problem we have been discussing. When lvcreate dies when creating an XFS snapshot it doesn't finish the snapshot creation and although lvdisplay shows that the XFS lv has an active snapshot (shows even its name) lvdisplay tells me that the snapshot doesn't exist and therefore, cannot be removed. During the reboot the machine fails to run through the startup scripts and dies somewhere within mount. I have found that kernels without the lvm-1.0.1 upgrade patch are able to carry on and even fix the half created snapshot whereas kernels with the lvm-1.0.1 upgrade patch are unable to deal with the problem snapshot and just die. Are you aware of what this might be? And if this is going to be the default behaviour in future versions of LVM how would I recover using a lvm-1.0.1 patched kernel? Just interested Thanks - -- Adrian Head (Public Key available on request.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8NnUR8ZJI8OvSkAcRAnegAJ9rayag2AQ7AMKufbL0d7PlxB3jxwCdGaQz UKinrM4ZVskDCt13J+3HAs0= =UDmt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
