Hi..
I've been using LVM for an year now... and have had almost no problems
with it...
Lately, i decided to start using snapshots to backup some data. I
created snapshot volumes as per the lvcreate man page and the
LVM-HOWTO on the sistina web site... however, i get stuck everytime i
try to moung the snapshot...
mount gives the following error:
-------
anubhav:~# mount /dev/data/snap_work /mnt
mount: block device /dev/data/snap_work is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/data/snap_work,
or too many mounted file systems
-------
lvdisplay output is as follows:
-------
anubhav:~# lvdisplay /dev/data/snap_work
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/data/snap_work
VG Name data
LV Write Access read only
LV snapshot status active destination for /dev/data/work
LV Status available
LV # 5
# open 0
LV Size 2.50 GB
Current LE 640
Allocated LE 640
snapshot chunk size 64.00 KB
Allocated to snapshot 0.00% [0/590.62 MB]
Allocated to COW-table 9.38 MB
Allocation next free
Read ahead sectors 10000
Block device 58:8
-------
I'm attaching the output of vgdisplay -v /dev/data in a gzipped file...
so as not to clutter this email...
I am using kernel version 2.4.17 with LVM version 1.0.2. I've applied
all the kernel patches correctly. And i'm using ReiserFS as the
filesystem. The mount version that i am using is: mount-2.11n
can anyone guide me as to where i am going wrong...??
thanks,
abhas.
