I got these error messages on the Wolk 4.9s kernel, but not on XFS CVS kernels (or vanilla linux with XFS patches applied). This is a somewhat random guess, but you might try to upgrade LVM to 1.0.7, following the LVM how-to, and see if the problem persists. >-----Original Message----- >From: Ronny Adsetts [mailto:ronny.adsetts@amazinginternet.com] >Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 12:39 >To: linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com; linux-lvm@sistina.com >Subject: Error on unmounting XFS LVM snapshot > > >Hi, > >Please Cc me on any replies. > >I am seeing an error logged when unmounting an LVM snapshot of an XFS >partition.
