To my surprise, when attempting to do a live snapshot of a XFS filesystem on 2.6.1, it failed miserably, and caused the machine to spin out of control, denying access to the main filesystems. I couldn't find a patch on the net anywhere. What is the state of VFS locking on 2.6.x? And in a related question, is the 2.4.xx patch ever going to be integrated into the mainline kernel? This is getting silly now. Thanks. -D -- Begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism! _______________________________________________ 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/
