I used to get it on RH8, with both ext3 and reiserfs (though more commonly with reiserfs). Syncing before taking the snapshot can help, but the only real fix is a kernel patch that makes sure the disk buffers are flushed to disk before the snapshot is taken. > Also, is it necessary that the filesystem be quiescent in order to > create a snapshot? I could temporarily remount readonly to create > the snapshot, but I would like not to have to do that. That would probably work too, but the VFS lock patch /really/ should do the trick.
