-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is the kdb output from trying to create a snapshot of an XFS volume when I have removed ext3 from my kernel. (For clarifcation - in all my previous tests ext3 was compiled into my kernel - in this test I did not select ext3 at all in menuconfig) The only other thing I have noticed is that when the original XFS logical volume is unmounted snapshot creation is fine. I'm not sure if this works on the other tests I have tried so I will go back and redo them. id %eip is weird. What does this really mean? looks like the instructions point nowhere. Am I correct?
