Hi, Having problems with mounting a snapshot, I applied the following advice : "You need to apply the VFS lock patch included in the source distribution. note: the VFS lock patch is 1.0.4 is rather broken so use the one from 1.0.5 - it'll be fine with a 1.0.4 kernel." However, after applying the patch, recompiling the kernel, and then rebooting, I still have the same problem : # mount -v /dev/vgdata/backup /backup/ mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/vgdata/backup I will try type ext3,ext2 mount: block device /dev/vgdata/backup is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vgdata/backup, or too many mounted file systems Furthermore, there is another error message on the console : EXT2-fs: lvm(58,1): couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4). Please note : the original LV the snapshot is taken on has the option "noatime" set. Could the problems come from this one ? (NB : kernel 2.4.18 SMP from kernel.org, LVM 1.0.5) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
