Owning to user error (ie mine) the VFS lock patch in the 1.0.4 tarball is incorrect. If you need to to use snapshots with reiserfs or ext3 please get the VFS lock patch from the 1.0.3 tarball or from http://tech.sistina.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/LVM/PATCHES/linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch?rev=1.1 Sorry about that. patrick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
