Let me about it, presently I have an issue with the latest incarnation. 2.6.5rc1 with the present udm1 patches. when you create a snapshot with this sequence it doesn't error and is all great until try to remove it which results in lvremove hanging and everything else with it. Then can't get the volume online again at all.. it simply won't mount and the mount command hangs. great init. Still I haven't had a response on this little number yet ============================================================================== 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 |---------+-----------------------------> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Craig Ringer | | | <craig@postnewspapers.com| | | .au> | | | | | | Sent by: | | | linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.| | | com | | | | | | 06/04/2004 15:01 | | | Please respond to LVM | | | general discussion and | | | development | | | | |---------+-----------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: LVM general discussion and development <linux-lvm@redhat.com> | | cc: (bcc: Darren Miller/SOU/SC/PHILIPS) | | Subject: Re: snapshots and 2.6 kernel | | | | Classification: | | | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| On Thu, 2004-03-25 at 22:07, darren.miller@philips.com wrote: > Getting the volume active is a pain I found that you have to reboot the > system and when it comes back you need to create a link your volume group > directory for the snapshot you create, atleast after the reboot the > snapshot device showup in /dev/mapper which is a start right. It would be _really_ good if LVM2 would fail gracefully when a snapshot fails, or try to discover whether or not it can take the snapshot before trying. At the very least a big **WARNING** in the _LVM2_ docs and in lvcreate would help a lot. I found LVM1 snapshots so perfect that I never thought about them anymore; LVM2 on 2.6 was a nasty shock that I'd love to see others saved from.
