Hello everybody. I'm having a lot problems trying to enable snapshots on an EXT3 Logical Volume. I was using LVM 1.0.4 and I decided to upgrade to LVM 1.0.7 and Linux kernel 2.4.21 on a Debian 3.0 to fix it. I have downloaded the following sources: Sistina WebPage LVM Sources: lvm 1.0.7 LinuxKernel Kernel 2.4.21 sources from http://www.kernel.org After executing ./configure script of LVM, I built VFS patch for 2.4.21, lvm-1.0.7-2.4.21.patch, and I patched the kernel (2.4.21 at /usr/src/linux) using "patch -p1 < /usr/src/LVM/1.0.7/PATCHES/lvm-1.0.7-2.4.21.patch". I compiled and installed LVM package using "make" and "make install". After that, I enabled LVM as a module and FileSystems->Vistual Memory Filesystem option in the kernel using "make menuconfig". I compiled the kernel and after reboor LVM seems to work correctly. However, when I create a snapshot volume: $:/usr/src/linux# lvcreate -L500M -s -n spoolbackup /dev/storage/spool lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be automatically disabled once it gets full lvcreate -- INFO: using default snapshot chunk size of 64 KB for "/dev/storage/spoolbackup" lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "storage" lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/storage/spoolbackup" successfully created And I try to mount it: $:/usr/src/linux# mount -t ext3 -r /dev/storage/spoolbackup /mnt/temp/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/storage/spoolbackup, or too many mounted file systems What's happenning?. I have upgraded LVM to 1.0.7, compiled VFS-lock kernel patch for LVM using LVM native utility, compiled the kernel, and everything seems to work fine. However, snapshots do not mount correctly. Please, please, help me, Thanks in advance, Alberto Picon Alberto Picón Couselo Departamento Informática y Telecomunicaciones Asociación SER (Ser, Estar, Responder) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Teléfono: (91)554.36.37 - Móvil: 615.22.77.55 - FAX: (91)534.27.59 Email: albertopicon@asociacionser.org ------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
