Creating a snapshot now works and doesn't error. nice. Removing the snapshot now hangs the entire system, using lvremove /dev/<VG>/<LV> Also error appears when lilo is run after snapshot is created: Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/mapper/vault-snapTue-cow' /proc/partitions isn't writeable therefore cannot be fixed. ============================================================================== Darren Miller Senior Systems Support Engineer Microsoft Certified Professional SCO Advanced Certified Engineer Infomation Systems Department (Core Server Support) Philips Semiconductors,Milbrook Industrial Estate,Southampton,SO15 0DJ,England Direct Dial In: +44 (0) 2380 312681 _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
