Hello,
This morning I had an oops which I think is due to extending a
LVM1 LVsnapshot.
I'm running a custom compiled 2.4.26 kernel. Debian source + LVM1.0.8 +
VFS-Lock from dm tarball.
If anyone can give me any pointers to informantion of debuging such
problems that would be great!
Thanks in advance for any advice on debugging.
Here is the syslog output:

The cron job I suspect of trigering the kernel bug is
