I am having an issue with LVM. Particularly with the "-s" option of lvcreate. I have an oracle database contained within 10 lv's of a 15 volume vg. When executing the snapshot, the database always returns corrupted. The error is : DBVERIFY: Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production on Mon Dec 1 17:02:28 2003 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation.
