Hello, I am running a patched 2.6.5 kernel and using lvm2. Everything looks ok, but the snapshot may be having problems. Else I just may be ignorant about how to use the snapshot. Here is what I am doing on a generic X86 server. I create a logical volume group out of a number of PEs that are properly configured. Then I create a logical volume. Then I start to dump a very large tar file into the logical volume. As this tar file is inflating the files into the logical volume, I then simultaneously create a snapshot volume of the recently created logical volume. The very large tar archive that was in the process of inflating its contents continues for a while, but finally just crashes and hangs at some point. Am I missunderstanding how to use snapshot here? Or is this just severly broken software? Any advise is appreciated.
