These are known issues with lvm on rh as2.1. I've resolved these by doing the following: 1.in drivers/md/lvm-snap.c Add the line int nbhs = KIO_MAX_SECTORS; right after the line int ret, max_sectors; Then change the lines: ret = alloc_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf); to ret = alloc_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf, &nbhs); and ret = alloc_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf); to ret = alloc_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf, &nbhs); and free_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf); to free_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf, &nbhs); and free_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf); to free_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf, &nbhs); 2. Then in drivers/block/genhd.c I added: struct gendisk *gendisk_head; EXPORT_SYMBOL(gendisk_head); right after the static struct gendisk *gendisk_head; Hope this helps.
